No, we didn’t forget—just running fashionably late on the Lucian vibes! The glitter’s settled and the speakers have cooled, but at Sokah2Soca, it’s never too late to honor brilliance. Saint Lucia’s Soca Monarch competition blazed through Carnival 2025, and even if our recap’s taken the scenic route, the culture, the fans, and the artistry deserve an encore.
Saint Lucia's Carnival 2025 intensified at the SAB in Vigie on July 11th, with 20 artists vying for the coveted Groovy and Power Soca Monarch crowns. The energy was electric. The performances? Unforgettable.
Imran Nerdy, the Groovy Soca Monarch, won the Groovy title and EC $40,000. Ricky T & Arthur Allain’s “Praises” followed closely, while Sly and Ti Blacks rounded out the top four with “Cyah Believe It” and “What is Mine,” respectively.
Power Soca Monarchs Dezral & Jardel revved up the crowd with “The Car,” clinching the Power Soca crown with 379 points. Ricky T & Hollywood HP’s “Freak Out” and Ezra D’FunMachine’s “Miserable” kept the adrenaline pumping, while Ti Blacks ft. Nerdy’s “We Di VIBE” brought the fire.
This year’s Monarchs didn’t just win titles—they delivered sonic experiences that captured the spirit of Lucian Carnival: bold, brilliant, and unapologetically Caribbean.
For full results and more Carnival 2025 coverage, visit carnivalsaintlucia.com. Sokah2Soca celebrates every artist who brought rhythm, resistance, and revelry to the stage. Let the music live on! ?

Carnival time is an opportunity for fun, a chance to release inhibitions, and, some may say, a moment for Jab mischief! The release of "Hide Me" for Grenada's Spicemas 2025 is a song that is sure to spark some cheeky banter. It is a song that will bring carnival flavor to the spirit—and one of the songs among the early sparks igniting the flames of jab culture. Angeleau James, the artist who wrote and performed the track, brought it to life with the engineering finesse of Lighthouse Recordz (for production, mixing, and mastering) and Vehement Productions (for recording), making it less about lyrical poetry and more about rhythmic provocation. Let's just say this song will stir up some carnival commess!
Listening to the song, one would quickly discern that it is a minimalist chant with a maximalist mood vibe. Let’s not pretend “Hide Me” offers lyrical depth—it’s a looped, hypnotic invocation of the phrase “Hide Me,” repeated until it becomes both command and confession. But that’s precisely the point. In jab culture, repetition breeds release. The power of the song isn’t in what’s said—it’s in what’s felt. The riddim alone promises to send masqueraders into controlled chaos, as mud, oil, and powder merge into one pulsating expression of Caribbean defiance. The question to be asked is, "What is he hiding from?" Is he in trouble because he did something wrong, or is he doing something wrong in carnival mode?
One can say that, like the song 'Ducking," this one is about hiding in plain sight—it's carnival camouflage as a cultural commentary about how we play during carnival season. The song’s cheeky theme—men ducking behind masks or just ducking not to be noticed behind bushes and bass riddims to escape the gaze of their watchful women—is nothing new. But what makes it carnival-worthy is how it dramatizes the tension between freedom and accountability and celebration and secrecy. To hide is to revel; to disappear is to truly arrive. And “Hide Me” taps directly into that ethos. ?
This song may become a favorite, similar to "Ducking!" With Spicemas’s roots entwined in rebellion and masquerade, this track could easily become a rallying cry. Not every song needs metaphor or message—sometimes it just needs madness. And as the trucks roll and jab crews swarm the streets, don’t be surprised if “Hide Me” becomes the soundtrack of those fleeting, oily disappearances. It’s messy. It’s mischievous. It’s pure Grenadian Carnival.
What say you—will “Hide Me” be this year’s unofficial anthem for escapists and bacchanalists alike? Or just another rhythm lost in the jab? Either way, Angeleau James has tossed his powder into the ring—and it’s looking flammable.

Caribbean Summer Carnivals are wrapping up quickly and today we are piggybacking on information provided by Caribbean Insight TV's YouTube channel to bring you the results of the Saint Lucia Calypso Monarch competition. The cycle is moving fast and very soon, yes, very soon, Mecca will be in the spotlight again. But we must address the Lucian Calypso Monarch results first. It appears that support for the show has dropped considerably. Overall, Calypso is struggling across the Caribbean, and something needs to be done to address this issue.
Kaiso, Kaiso? Yes, Kaiso! Sokah2Soca celebrates the lyrical brilliance and cultural fire of this year’s Calypso Monarch Finals, held at The Sab in Vigie on July 12. After a fierce showdown of wit, rhythm, and social commentary, Dezral has reclaimed his crown with commanding performances of “The Kaiso Goat” and “The Immigrant,” earning 766 points and securing his second consecutive title.
? Top Four Placements/Winners:
? Dezral (Fire One Tent)—The Kaiso Goat, The Immigrant—766 pts
? TC Brown (Kaiso Pros Tent)—My Choice, Kaiso—764 pts
? LuShanne (South Calypso Tent)—How We Love Thee, Crown Them—755 pts
?️ Educator (Fire One Tent)—Drunk Cars, Great Again—742 pts
From satire to soul-searching, the finalists delivered two rounds of potent performances that lit up the stage and stirred the crowd. Dezral’s tribute to calypso legends and his lyrical evolution as “the Kid” destined to inherit the GOAT mantle was a standout moment.
Let's drop some flowers and a special thanks to Caribbean Insight TV for capturing the magic and providing detailed coverage of the event. The video we provide for this post is available on the YouTube page of Caribbean Insight TV, along with many more Caribbean cultural events.
Stay tuned as Sokah2Soca continues to spotlight the voices shaping Caribbean music and identity. Calypso lives on! ???

Oh yes, we are back with the pride and joy of Caribbean calypso music. DJ Jo Jo Lo delivered classic Calypso heat from NYC to the global diaspora, adding a touch of Brooklyn brilliance to Old School Saturday. Mr. Desmond initially planned for a 12-to-4 session, but by 1:30 PM, Jo Jo had already provided us with an abundance of soul-satisfying classics.
We told you we would be back, and we did it with class. This cultural link-up, powered by MrDesmond.net, was a tribute to storytelling in rhythm. Calypso resonated loudly and proudly from BKNYC to backyard speakers worldwide. Big up MrDesmond.net for the hookup—and to everyone who tuned in, we hope you vibed as hard as we did.
This session was a musical love letter to the ‘Old Heads’ and the new generation discovering the power of Caribbean storytelling. Calypso lives. OSS delivers. And Sokah2Soca celebrates. ?????
