We're loving the new song "Right Dey" by Wadicks, written by the talented Rosario Walters and produced by Starboy Johnny and David "Millbeatz" Millien of MillBeatz Entertainment. Recorded by David Sheppard Pro and mixed and mastered by MillBeatz, this track has the right feel and definitely the feel-good vibes for Carnival 2025.
The feel and vibe of "Right Dey" are truly captivating and instantly transport you to a lively party atmosphere. However, we have one major issue—the song's length. At just 2:14, it's noticeably shorter than most tracks, which usually run over 3 minutes.
While this shorter length can be perfect for DJs who like to keep the energy up and transition quickly between songs, it feels a bit lacking for a standalone purchase. A longer version would undoubtedly enhance the carnival vibe and provide listeners with a more immersive experience. Additionally, incorporating more intricate layers of instrumentation and extended solos could enhance the overall experience, allowing the audience to immerse themselves in the vibrant atmosphere the music aims to create. Ultimately, a balance between brevity and depth would cater to both the energetic vibe of DJs and the appreciation of casual listeners.
Tell us, do you believe we have a valid point, or do you believe it is futile to continue this discussion? Do you find the length acceptable, even if you believe an extended version could elevate this song's profile and secure its place in radio rotation? Tell us what you think.

Bring It Back by Rajah x Oscar B x Ranjan x Miz Estrada x Quincy: Time to Reconnect

A new song by an incredible collaboration of artists has emerged as a beacon of hope and unity in a time of global division. "Bring It Back" by Rajah X Oscar B X Ranjan X Miz Estrada X Quincy is more than just a song; it's a call to action, a reminder of the power we hold as individuals to create a world filled with peace and love. Before we continue our post about the song, I must extend a warm welcome back to Oscar B!
Penned by Rajdeo Rampersad and Oscar B and produced, mixed, and mastered by the legendary Professor Bounty of Targetz Studios, "Bring It Back" is a hybrid calypso track that pays homage to the rich cultural tapestry of Trinidad and Tobago. This genre-blending masterpiece weaves together the soulful rhythms of traditional calypso with the vibrant sounds of Indian instruments, creating a sound that is both nostalgic and refreshingly modern.
The essence of "Bring It Back" is rooted in the longing for the good old days, a sentiment echoed by many who remember a time when life felt simpler and communities were stronger. This theme of reminiscing is beautifully captured in the lyrics, urging listeners to reflect on the past and take inspiration to build a brighter future. It’s a message reminiscent of the classic "Bring Back the Old Time Days" by Nappy Myers, yet it resonates deeply with our current generation.
One of the most compelling aspects of "Bring It Back" is its universality. Whether you're from a bustling city or a quiet village, the song’s message is clear: unity and love are the keys to a better future. The artists behind this project have invested their hearts into every note and word, aiming to ignite a movement that surpasses boundaries and unites people.
"Bring It Back" serves as a poignant reminder that we, as individuals, possess the ability to mold our communities. This song, with its catchy beats and heartfelt lyrics, acts as a catalyst for change, inspiring everyone to reflect and take responsibility for improving the world.
The song is gaining momentum in the music scene, and we can only hope that it continues to inspire and uplift. Here’s to Rajah X, Oscar B, Ranjan, Miz Estrada, Quincy, Professor Bounty, and the entire team—may your journey bring us all closer to unity and peace.
In the spirit of "Bring It Back," let's remember that every small act of kindness, every effort to connect with our neighbors, and every moment we choose love over hate, we are contributing to a future where the unity and joy of yesteryear can be a reality once more. Now it's time to become nostalgic, listen to "Bring It Back," and let's make a difference, one song at a time.
A note from the production team:
This is a song of unity. We need to learn to live, love, and cherish life. Let's reminisce about the simple activities we engaged in in the past, when we all shared a familial bond. As of today, we have been losing that connection with each other, not only here in Trinidad and Tobago but around the world as well. This is merely a small attempt to encourage people to reminisce about the past, and perhaps, just possibly, we could once again live in harmony.

After rising to fame with the hit "The Greatest Bend Over," Yung Bredda's latest release, "No Stress," produced by Boogy Ranks and co-written by Yung Bredda and Fresh Ting, has raised some eyebrows. While the song may resonate with the young crowd, the need to label it with a parental advisory label makes it a questionable choice for radio play.
In a time when youth are often scrutinized, Yung Bredda had a golden opportunity to capitalize on his newfound notoriety with a more radio-friendly track. Instead, "No Stress" seems to miss the mark, lacking the subtlety of double entendre that could have broadened its appeal, made it radio-friendly, and palatable to a wider listening audience, but that may not be the case for "Zess Nation!"
While the song may have its fans, it's unlikely to receive the same widespread acclaim as "The Greatest Bend Over." Does it have a vibe? Oh, hell, yes, it does! Utilizing the hook from Shadow's song, "Feeling the Feeling," is a privilege; the legendary Shadow asked, "Are you feeling the feeling?" Are you getting the symptoms?" No doubt, the song has appeal, but what about the big picture and your ability to shine as the new kid with outstanding potential? Excellent lyrical content always highlights the brilliance of excellent music! One can't help but wonder if a different thought process could have led to a more universally accepted hit.
What do you think? Is "No Stress" a bold move or a misstep for Yung Bredda? Yung Bredda's bold move, showcasing his willingness to experiment with themes and sounds, raises the question of whether it resonates with a broader audience. Perhaps this creative risk will pay off in the long run, or it might serve as a lesson in understanding the delicate balance between innovation and marketability.

Time and time again we have heard the statement, "Calypso is the voice of the people." This sentiment is particularly relevant when Calypso serves as the central focus of our Carnival festivities. Despite Soca's current dominance, the collective voice of the people can still resonate deeply. Even better is when the beat encapsulates that message, inspiring you to dance instead of simply listening. Today, we present to you an electrifying new track that does just that. Chuck Gordon is back with his latest release, "Look Tuh Press."
Always pay attention to those who have previously won the title of Calypso Monarch. Roderick "Chucky" Gordon, a two-time Calypso Monarch in Trinidad and Tobago, brings a song penned by the talented Marvin Mason to life.
We have heard the saying, "It takes a village," and for this song, the collaborative effort for "Look Tuh Press" delivered the goods. The production of "Look Tuh Press" is a testament to teamwork and musical craftsmanship. Roderick Gordon and SupaYouth both produced and arranged the song. The soulful background vocals feature a stellar team including Natalie Yorke, Joseph Williams, and Roderick himself. Live instruments elevate the track to another level, with horns coming straight from "Ultra Brass Studios." The incredible Nikholai Greene of N.M.G. Music added the final polish by handling the song's mixing and mastering.
We have expressed our regret over the abundance of "sit down and listen" calypsos and the dearth of "get up and dance" style calypsos. "Look Tuh Press" isn't just another track to add to your playlist; it's a message and a vibe wrapped up in a danceable beat that transcends the traditional confines of Calypso music. The dancefloor amplifies the importance of the people's voice.
Are you prepared to experience the beat and embrace the message? Press play on Chuck Gordon's "Look Tuh Press" and let the music move you. We look forward to hearing your comments.
From the production team:
- Corruption? Doh do we dat!
- Perversion? Doh do we dat!
- The people have spoken... Now it's time to say less.
- If you're not acting right in 2025... Look to press!
