Are you ready for the revolution

Fri, Feb 27th 2015, 01:04 AM

It's a Soca Revolution blowout tonight when the likes of Grenada's Mr. Killa, Trinidad's JW & Blaze, and Antigua's Ricardo Drue join the likes of Bahamians Julien Believe and DJ Muzikal out of Hatchet Bay, Eleuthera, on stage at SuperClubs Breezes.

"Tonight is going be very exciting," said Alpha Sounds Promotions promoter Trevor Davis. "Soca Revolution is just one event in a series of seven events I will be having leading up to the big event -- Soca Fest, which will be held on May 1 which will consist of 10 international artists with at least 12 to 15 local acts."

Mr. Killa who is on everybody's lips for his song "Rolly Polly" which for the past two years has been one of the more popular Soca hits. Mr. Killa, who in 1999 won Grenada's Talent Search show, became a household name in 2002 when he released his hit "Wood Can't Done". He's had a plethora of hits including "Rider", "Cat", "Coming Down the Road", "Gouyave Gone Mad", "Island Paradise" and "More Flames". He has also enjoyed successes at Grenada's Carnival.

In 2009, he delivered what is considered the best Soca Monarch performance in the history of the Grenada competition and has established himself as the pre-eminent Soca performer on the Spice Isle. In 2009 he won the Road March title along with the coveted Soca Monarch with the hit tune "Swing It Away".

Road March and Soca monarch kings of Trinidad and Tobago Carnival 2010 -- JW & Blaze's hit "Palance" is a favorite on the party scene. And then there's Antiguan-born Ricardo Drue, who sings "Vagabond", one of the popular releases for Carnival 2015, which has been heating up the airwaves since its release for Antigua and Barbuda Carnival in 2014.

Ricardo Drue, front liner for the "Roy Cape All Stars" is also Antigua's Soca monarch, having captured the coveted title last year. He also walked away the second runner-up in the Groovy Soca Monarch competition and was second in that island's road march race. And of course, leading the local acts on stage will be Julien Believe whose latest single is entitle "Turn Up The Junkanoo", and DJ Muzikal out of Hatchet Bay, Eleuthera, whose latest single is entitled "They Juice You Aye?"

Davis anticipates droves of Bahamians at tonight's Soca Revolution.
