      That’s definitely understood. The thing is, Ashanti is washed up in America. Rihanna would have naturally been a better person to bridge the genre into the US with because she has already been easing Americans into the culture itself. But let’s see how this goes....

    This Soca Chune letting all you know the Monk been saying for long time now Soca is pushing boundaries and its our time to shine. I for one tired of seeing our music sampled and influence in other music but, no recognition given. One of our biggest Ambassador's to our music helping bring notoriety to it and then he collabs with another Ambassador in Bunji snd people thought he was done oh no he far from done by all accounts. How much music this man done put out thus far for Soca 2019 and he still dropping and creating. I know some may argue this next comment but I stand behind it "The Michael Jackson of our music he is the King of Soca" The best hasn't even come yet. I for one can't wait to see what else he has in the bag or awaiting in the studio.

I believe this songs is strong enough to stand on it own and it will be one of the strongest when it comes to collaboration with r&b (other genres) artists in the soca industry. This song is a stepping stone for bigga and betta tunes and collabs. I am so looking forward to seeing. Why aren't you? ?
