Soca artiste, Toiya Isaac, better known by her stage name Rudy, is the 2013-2014 reigning Virgin Islands Groovy Monarch. Rudy, the Virgin Islands’ First Lady of Soca, is truly one of today’s hottest entertainers. Her versatile ability of interweaving Soca, R&B, and Reggae music is one of a kind and can be heard all over the Caribbean, Eastern-US, and Canada. Upon her arrival to Atlanta, Rudy entered many musical competitions making her unique sound a staple within the Caribbean music sector. In 2000, Rudy was crowned with the prestigious title of Female DJ of the Year; which opened many doors for the thriving artist. Many event directors, promoters, DJ’s and producers were astonished by her panache, lyrical content, stage performance, as well as her ability to captivate crowds effortlessly.During her younger years, Rudy was influenced by her father DJ Calabash, a musical genius in his own right. He would encourage her to perform on stage entertaining crowds by free-styling on various dancehall ‘riddims’ which birthed a new passion within Rudy that she could not ignore. By the age of 16, Rudy began her musical journey and set her sight on Atlanta’s thriving music scene in hopes of securing a recording contract. In 2008, Rudy returned to her native island of St. Thomas U.S.V.I. and immediately began working on new music. By the summer, Rudy released the Caribbean female anthem of the year “Come Betta” under Danja Production Management Company. “Come Betta” was in heavy rotation on over 100 radio stations world-wide and positioned Rudy as a force to be reckoned with in the Caribbean music industry. @RudyLive #RudyLive #islandpeeps #StThomas #VirginIslands #Soca (at Saint Thomas, US Virgin Islands)

Even Popcaan’s Diss Tracks Bring Good Vibes
You might know Popcaan (aka Andrae Hugh Sutherland) as dancehall’s resident nice guy. His 2014 breakthrough, Where We Come From, was carefree and gregarious; his collaborations with Jamie XX, Gorillaz, and Drake further proved that he’s all about having a good time. All that friendly spirit hides the fact that he does indeed have edge, though. He rarely shows his anger, but when the rival deejay Alkaline recently released two diss tracks insulting Popcaan’s famous friendships (with Drake, in particular), he had to clap back. On “Stray Dog,” Popcaan enters the fight on his own terms.
From the get-go, Popcaan’s lyrics are simmering with rage and indignation, “Bwoy you a punk,” he jeers. “M1 rifle strap on ‘pon me back/Crash your skull like a calabash.” But you wouldn’t know he was out for revenge: His delivery is sunny, friendly, and relaxed as he strings together stone-cold insults. Plucky Spanish guitars and castanets rebound over a bouncing drum riddim to give the song all the exaggerated suspense of a showdown at high noon. Staying true to his nature, the song’s go-lucky major key cleverly masks his intentions to bury his competitors. When he does assert himself, his voice happily soars over a lilting piano progression, assuring Alkaline (and whoever else) that he’s the most “unruly,” the baddest out there. In the end, Popcaan brushes the dirt of his shoulders, sounding lethal and nonchalant all at once.
