"Mind Off" is a newly released song by Barbadian soca artists Lil Rick and Jus Jay. It was released on May 31, 2023, and is the first single from Lil Rick's upcoming album, "Mind Off." The song is a laid back Afro-Soca track with a catchy melody and lyrics that encourage listeners to slow-groove to this smooth vibe. We expect this song to climb the charts slowly but be around for a long time. You should add this song to your playlist and music collection. 
 
Lil Rick wrote the song, which Jus Jay produced. It features a driving beat and Lil Rick's signature vocals. The lyrics are about letting go of stress and worries and enjoying the moment. The song is just right for dancing and partying, and will get everyone on their feet.
 
"Mind Off" is an excellent example of Lil Rick's Soca talent. He is known for his catchy melodies and energetic performances, and "Mind Off" is no exception. The song is sure to be a hit with Soca music fans everywhere.

Golden Hands is a dynamic and vibrant Steelband orchestra that makes a positive impact on young people's lives in Trinidad and Tobago. The band is a source of pride for the community, and it is a significant part of the country's cultural heritage.
 
Today we present the Golden Hands Steel Orchestra playing Beyonce's "Love on Top." The song was originally released in 2011. Vanessa Headley-Brewster's song selection is excellent. We love the arrangement and wish the band continued success.

Love on Top by Beyonce
Today, while listening to Mr. Desmond and Kenny Phillips on Wack Radio, a caller asked about a Black Stalin tribute melody recently played on the station. Mr. Desmond mentioned that the melody was done by Nicholas Brancker; he meant The Nicholas Brancker Band! I did my due diligence and located the tribute video. This is the feature of the post, a tribute to the late Dr. Leroy Caliste, who died on the 24th of July. September 1941 – sunset on the 28th. December 2022.
 
The Black Stalin Tribute by The Nicholas Brancker Band (from Barbados) is a stunning tribute to the legendary Trinidadian calypsonian, Black Stalin. This presentation is a masterpiece of Caribbean music, featuring powerful vocals, intricate instrumentals, and soulful rhythms by the Nicholas Brancker Band. These rhythms transport listeners to the heart of Trinidad's vibrant musical culture from the late Black Stalin. Each track selected for this presentation is expertly crafted. It showcases the incredible talent of the Nicholas Brancker Band and their deep appreciation for Black Stalin's music.
 
The Black Stalin Tribute is a must-listen for anyone who loves Caribbean music or is interested in Trinidad and Tobago's rich musical traditions. It is a fitting tribute to one of the greatest calypsonians of all time and a testament to his enduring power. Highly recommended.
 
I have to admit that the singer, Adrian, was excellent and sounded very much like the late maestro, Black Stalin. This feature is pure excellence and one of the finest Black Stalin tributes I have seen online. Kudos to The Nicholas Brancker Band.
 
Notes from Nicholas Brancker:
This was the final rehearsal before our first performance after Black Stalin's passing. We had just finished a workshop at UWI for students and decided to document and share this medley with you. This is a tribute to a humble, joyful and committed Caribbean son. Live on, Brother!
