Ah, new music featuring two artists carries a message for everyone. Understanding our role in life provides us with the "whole" we need to thrive on this sacred earth. We are merely a single component in the larger scheme of life, contributing to its significance. Today, Benjai and Yung Bredda sing a song that explains our role in the "whole." GusBus produced and mixed the song, while Kasey Phillips of Precision Productions expertly mastered it.
It is a beautiful thing to hear the voice of Benjai once again. Along with Yung Bredda, they both tell the story of life and what it takes to make it a whole and successful journey. Two incredible artists, two different sides of the same coin, delivering a meaningful message that should resonate well with the youth.
We, at Sokah2Soca, firmly believe that this song merits airplay on radio, as it conveys a straightforward message that young people desperately need to hear in a society plagued by crime. Once more, this song conveys a straightforward yet profound message that we truly appreciate. Enjoy positive vibes and share a message of life, love, and freedom.

"Let Me Breathe" is the latest music release from Patrice Roberts for Trinidad and Tobago's 2025 Carnival. "Riddim Productionz" produced the track, and Richard "Char Su" Ahong handled the mixing and mastering. This song feels like the quiet storm of music releases thus far, with Patrice delivering a controlled and smooth vocal performance. We think you will love this song.
Written by the very talented Jason "Shaft" Bishop along with Patrice and Nigel Lewis and produced by team Nigel Lewis, Richard "Char Su" Ahong, and Lance Cadogan of "Riddim Productionz," the song showcases Patrice's vocal talent. Her relaxed and endearing vocals immediately connect with her audience and fans all over. Anyone who loves good music, including Patrice's fans, will love this well-orchestrated production.
There is no doubt that DJs and radio personalities will have this song on replay mode. We love the song—the passion felt in Patrice's soothing vocals and the general feel of the song. We at Sokah2Soca are excited to celebrate this fantastic new track. Tune in, feel the vibes, and let Patrice Roberts take you on a musical journey with "Let Me Breathe."

The Carnival Development Corporation of Trinidad and Tobago officially kicked off Carnival 2025 today at the Queen's Park Savannah in Port of Spain. Yes, dear friends, it is that time again. We have been posting new Soca songs almost daily but today marks the official start of the big event. The theme for the 2025 celebration is "No Place Like Home!" At the launch today, viewers will get the opportunity to view snippets of our culture in music, featuring Calypso, Soca, and the national instrument, the steelpan, with Exodus as one of the Steelband performing tonight.
Some of your favorite artists will perform tonight, including Patrice Roberts, Karene Asche, Nadia Batson, Kernal Roberts, KMC, Aaron Duncan, Nailah Blackman, College Boy Jesse and others. Portrayals will feature carnival costumes showcasing the unique skill and talent of our people. Some of the scheduled events for this event, which began at 3:30 pm, include a parade on the Savannah Drag (the pathway leading to the stage), followed by performances that are expected to continue late into the night.
There are several feeds on YouTube broadcasting the event (several bootleg feeds) along with TTT, the official television station out of Trinidad and Tobago. Enjoy the evening's entertainment.

For the upcoming Carnival 2025 in Trinidad and Tobago, it's crucial to familiarize yourself with your team as you prepare for the 'feting season'. In other words, your feting team should be considered your "feting family." For today's post, we intend to keep things simple and let the music visualizer tell the entire story. This is the music, the vibe, and the loving family of one Shal Marshall.
Shal can be humorous at times, but he is simply expressing what we, as "carnivalists," already know: we all party and have a 'quality and memorable time' with our "feting family."
As the beats drop and the energy rises, it's clear that Shal captures the essence of what it means to celebrate together. So, immerse yourself in the rhythm and let the music transport you to a place where laughter, joy, and camaraderie reign supreme.
In conclusion, as you get ready for Trinidad's 2025 Carnival, make sure to organize your 'feting family', buy party/fete tickets, and establish plans for a safe and unforgettable Carnival. Consider booking accommodations and transportation with friends to maximize the festivities. Embrace the vibrant culture, music, and spirit of the event, ensuring that every moment is filled with joy and celebration.
