Wow! My head is still spinning from a really positive trip to my “second home”, St. Lucia over the past weekend. *grin* Much thanks to my homegirl Nicole “Nikki” David, who brought me to St. Lucia to oversee the recording of a MADDD tune I wrote called “Nasty”, which she’s gonna sing for Lucian Carnival 2010! Talk about “BIGG CHUNE” (as Soca lovers like to say)!!! When this one gets released Lucian Carnival will never be the same lol.

While I was there I also managed to do a little “liming”  (that’s Trini slang for “hanging out”), which is always a pleasure, when one is blessed to be in beautiful St. Lucia.

Big up to Curty (one of Lucia’s top producers, who also happened to produce the riddim that “Nasty” is on), and special shout out to all the other Lucian Soca artists that I bounced up in my three-day whirlwind trip to SLU. Large up Qpid, Scady, Teddyson John, Penn, and everybody that I hung out with at Nikki’s band rehearsal for the big NG Soca Stage show that weekend.

Special shouts to my bredrin Mr. Killa – the reigning Soca Monarch and Road March King of Grenada – who also made me laugh during that impromptu “lime”. For me personally, it’s always a pleasure seeing Killa, since we have a long history of mutual respect and collaboration. For those of you with short memories, check out my appearance on Killa’s “Warriors (Remix)” (also featuring Naya George) and take a listen to the 2009 collaboration I did with Killa, titled “Show Off” as well!

Anyway, let’s get back to talking about the big NG Soca Stage Launch event this weekend that I was blessed to attend! Shouts to Kayo and the whole NG crew for putting on a great show on Saturday night! All the Lucian stars mashed up the place, so props to my Lucian Soca crew who did a great job starting the Carnival season in SLU with a bang.

It was nice to see artists like Private 6, Platinum George, Kakal, Mantius, Nicole David (of course), Ricky T, Ilah Man, Teddyson George, Qpid and Mr. Pringles “mash up” the place. Not to mention my homie Mr. Killa, who lit up the stage as usual with an awesome performance to close the show.

It was almost sad to leave SLU the next day, but at the same time, there’s no place like home – especially right now for me, since I know I have crazy work to do. Remember a couple blog posts back I was telling you that I started a new project that I’m excited about? *smile & wink*

Big up to all the Lucian Crew, and special thanks again to my sistren Nikki David for showing me a wonderful time in Lucia. I can’t wait for Nikki’s BIGGG CHUNE to hit the airwaves so she can mash up the place with it! In the meantime, her controversial Groovy single “Mr. Dean Dough” is already tearing up the Lucian airwaves and I’m confident that the song I wrote for her (and did some COOL background vocals on too) will cause even MORE trouble in Lucia lol.

Big up to to young upcoming producer Yogi of Studio 9 in St. Lucia who did a good job of engineering the session and recording some CRAZY vocals. (Uhmm… 110 tracks of vocals and counting! lol)

Stay tuned for “Nasty” by Nikki David, written and arranged by Mista Vybe (with backgrounds by me too lol), produced by Curty for Dirty Dutch Productions and recorded by Yogi for Studio 9!
