KG Muzik Calls Out the Bias with Trinidad's Music Industry: Trinibad Deserves More Than Just Clicks

This wasn’t just a rant but was more so an expression of frustration—it was verbal bois (bois—Trinidad stickfighting terminology) aimed straight at the heart of Trinidad’s music ecosystem. The industry? Dragged. The Soca artists? They were exposed for their lack of leadership and support. Indeed, even the fans faced harsh realities. KG held nothing back, and the message was clear: Trinibad and Zess deserve more than hype—they deserve respect.
KG’s recent YouTube vent wasn’t just emotion—it was a mirror held up to Trinidad’s music industry. He called out the double standards, the selective support, and the cultural snobbery that keeps Trinibad and Zess artists boxed in.
These genres have grown out of the passion lived in the streets of Trinidad—raw, real, and resonating with the youth. However, when artists like Plumpy release tracks that are positive and conscious, they receive criticism. No reposts or support from our so-called fans. There was no radio play. No co-signs. Yet the moment drama hits, everyone’s tuned in. Trinidadians like drama and will listen to and praise foreign artists who deliver viral music and ignore the local artists with positive music.
This venting isn’t just about KG looking out for himself, far from it—it’s about a pattern. The industry wants the numbers Trinibad brings, but not the culture. They’ll capitalize on the controversy but won’t invest in the growth. They’ll praise international sounds with similar grit but treat local Zess like it’s a phase to outgrow.
And mentorship? KG made it clear that most of the big names only show support once an artist has already gone viral. That’s not support—that’s opportunism. He really exposed the 'elders,' well-known Soca stars who only feature 'new artists' when they "make it on their own." They are not risk takers, just opportunists! He did not hold back... Machel got some serious bois!
In actuality, Trinibad and Zess music embody lived realities. They’re not polished for export—they’re rooted in experience. And until Trinidad’s music gatekeepers respect that, they’ll keep missing the future that’s already here. He exposed the 'bandwagonist industry' that waits for success before promoting artists... they are not risk takers who see talent and grow it.
KG’s rant is a wake-up call. This warning applies not only to fans but to the entire ecosystem. If you’re not helping build, don’t pretend to support.
From Poop Patrol to Amazon Pet Store Romance: Ro’dey & Preedy Deliver Vibes
By Ananda/Sokah2SocaThis post first appeared on Sokah2Soca, where Caribbean music meets wit, rhythm, and real talk. Island Vybe Radio spins the tunes—we decode the culture.
The music video begins with Ro’dey and Preedy dressed as pet store employees, arguing about who must pick up the "too too," which refers to poop! These are genuine Trini issues. Just when you think it couldn’t get more chaotic, two ladies stroll in—and the fellas switch from sanitation to seduction faster than a Carnival costume change.
The men try to impress the ladies, but the ladies have different intentions. They came for guinea pigs, not guinea men. After getting roasted like Sunday breadfruit, Ro’dey and Preedy decide: no discount, no vibes, full price! But then—plot twist—the ladies fall in love… with the guinea pigs. And the song. And maybe even the idea that these fellas could love them like they love their furry friends.
DJ Punz is ready to explode on the Soca scene. Produced, mixed, and mastered by the ever-vibey DJ Punz, this track is pure soca mischief with a melody that sticks harder than pet store hay in a Carnival boot. Is it early for a 2026 release? Maybe. But when the vibes hit, time is irrelevant.
So what do we really think about the video and music? Guinea pigs are adorable. Ro’dey and Preedy are hilarious. Do you like this song? This song is definitely worth listening to, and hopefully you will hear it on the radio soon. But did the artists release the song too early? Perhaps the verdict is still pending. Then again, Carnival 2026 might just have its first unofficial banger that you will have on replay. Laugh with the guys but vibe with the music. Here comes Punz!
