"It's good to see international media outlets such as MTV and The New Yorker embracing and supporting Caribbean music," reveals Farmer Nappy. "This means we are another step closer to spreading the richness of our culture and music to the worldwide massive. And it couldn't happen at a better time, when Trinidad is celebrating Carnival."
Blending calypso, kaiso, ragga, soca, reggae and dancehall tones, Farmer manages to capture the true essence of the Caribbean, taking this compilation beyond carnival circles.

"The veteran musician has put together an album of super-concentrated soca with a global pop sensibility and pan-Caribbean flavors." - MTV
