More than ever before the phrase “Home Is Where The Heart Is” should be embraced. Home is an escape; a space of comfort, peace, relaxation and content, where troubles are forgotten. Understanding that this home, your home, my home, this house is not categorized solely as that place where a night’s rest occurs is mandatory when listening to Farmer Nappy’s newest release titled ‘My House.’ In this release, Farmer has created the perfect ambiance that encourages a changed perception, one that encourages love for Soca music and West Indian culture which is “Home.” Farmer is not singing about his house in the literal sense. ‘My House’ is Soca which was built up on his land; Trinidad and Tobago. Written by Jason ” Shaft” Bishop and produced by De Red Boyz ‘My House’ promises to become an anthem that will stand the test of time. Farmer Nappy pens Letter to his ‘House’ – ‘Soca’.
When I thought about including you into my legacy; All the odds were against me, To ensure you were perfect was all I needed to see, To be a great builder was who I needed to be.
The bricks and loads of sand had to be perfect too, Adding some elements to you was all I needed to do. I made you glow as everyone watched; I added some shimmer and my special touch.
I knew there was something special about you; You quickly proved this to be true, You stole my heart as you grew into a better you, A better me is what I needed to be for you.
You see the land I chose for you to grow, It’s a land that many chose to sow, It’s a land that I love so dear, I will continue to build it without fear.
My house that I’ve built, I share with others, It’s not mine alone but I’ll be damned if it’s bothered, Don’t mash it up, Just come in clean There is something special about this Soca scene.
“My house is Soca, we built it from a load of sand and bricks, all of us, not just the artistes. It belongs to us - all of us. Lets continue to build it together.” – Farmer Nappy

When harmonious melodies are fused with rhythmic pulses, you can’t help but move. The Ground Empire has once again delivered an offering guaranteed to keep you on your feet.
Written and sung by Fay-Ann Lyons and produced by the gifted Sheriff, of Black Ice Studios, this song takes us back to a time when complicated beats were not needed for the dance floor. Go ahead, shake it like you wanna break the world, I dare you.
Even though he still looks up to Bunji Garlin and other heavyweights Ricardo Drue is stepping up to the challenge of being a role model to Younger artistes in the industry.
