Galin is at it again. GusBus' music production, "Sense," showcases the Ragga Soca King's unique musical style that you may have forgotten but will, once again, love. If you're wondering about this music style, it's likely because you're unfamiliar with Bunji Garlin and his unique flow. This very laid-back, relaxed rap-styled music release is a testament to the enduring legacy of Ian Alvarez, aka Bunji Garlin. Indeed, he still reigns supreme and is the undisputed King of Ragga Soca! This song takes us back to a time when Ragga Soca had its brief but noteworthy reign. The music continues to evolve, but Bunji is here to remind us that the more things change, the more they remain the same. This is a masterclass in the musical evolution and style that everyone loves about Soca music. GusBus' production and mixing work shines brightly after Kasey Phillips of Precision Production refined it and delivered the final mastered track. We love this song, and the vibe just feels right.
One can tell from our introduction that we believe that "Sense" isn't just a song; no, it is an experience that Carnival party favorites will cherish and request for this upcoming season. Indeed, this will evoke memories of the musical style that Bunji championed, transformed into a household brand, and established himself as the King of Ragga Soca. Today, Bunji, the Viking of Soca, is reclaiming the music and reminding people about this musical style that Groove and Power Soca have pushed aside. Be aware that Ragga Soca, also known as Rap Soca, is thriving, and Bunji is here to guide you; he is your guiding light!
Could you explain the meaning behind the title track, "Sense"? Well, Bunji is not "taking no special request; don't dedicate; just relax and wait; money aah, go run through the gate." To put it another way, Bunji wants you to comprehend his philosophy, and he guides you into his creative mindset by suggesting that his purpose is to "educate and elevate"—pay attention to the subtleties! While it may not make sense, we know the vibe is right! Don't try to understand him—just enjoy the music and feel the vibe. The production layers "Sense" over a modern vibe, rooted in Ragga Soca. This team created a track that will be timeless and, at the same time, contemporary for today's youth.
At Sokah2Soca, we're thrilled to celebrate the release of "Sense." It's a reminder of why we fell in love with Bunji Garlin's music in the first place and a testament to his continued relevance in the soca scene. So turn up the volume, let the rhythms take over, and enjoy the return of the Ragga Soca king with "Sense."

Love this; indeed, Karma is a bitch. This is the harsh reality that arises from sacrificing everything and realizing that it is insufficient. Indeed, falling in love and giving everything you have has its benefits and pitfalls. It can sometimes be the rollercoaster of your life. You may experience love, betrayal, and, if you're fortunate, sweet vindication!
Today, we present a Chutney Soca music release that narrates the tale of a betrayed lover who ultimately found happiness... Karma is a bitch with a devilish bite! Learning that leaving the relationship was a big mistake and attempting to get back has its consequences. This song tells that tale with emotional lyrics and a compelling vibe. In the end, the jilted lover demonstrated strength, upheld their self-respect, and celebrated saying "no" with a sense of satisfaction. That, dear friends, is the ultimate payback. Remember, the grass is not always greener on the other side; it could just be astroturf! You know, not the real thing!
This song is the perfect antidote for anyone who's ever felt the sting of betrayal. "Karma" is not just a song; it's a song of empowerment and self-worth. Let the beats of Chutney Soca lift your spirits and remind you that what goes around, comes around.
Sweet right! So, there you go. Now feel satisfied and move on. Allow the music to heal, inspire, and move you, and remember, Karma could get you in the end, so proceed with caution!
