THE RETURN: The 80s
Who didn’t love the eighties? Big hair. Crazy fashion. Madonna and Run D.M.C. on the airwaves. It was a magical time. Well, it was also a time of high crime, unemployment, a health epidemic, and due to the Cold War, tension between the US and Russia. Seems a lot like the 2020s, huh? In this episode, DysChick and SocaSaySo RANT about the surreal return to the past.
Then we RAVE to “Rebecca” by Super Blue, which won Road March in Trinidad in 1983.

THE RETURN: In Defense of the Black Woman
On Feb 25th, President Joe Biden announced his nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson for the Supreme Court. His intention was to nominate a Black woman to diversify the highest court in the land. Well, there are many who oppose this nomination and are making it clear as they interrogate– I mean, question Judge Jackson on her record and commendable legal career… no wait, they asked her to define the word “woman” and asked whether or not babies can be racist. We also note that even award shows have been forced to deal with the topic of protecting Black women based on recent events. So, are we defending Black women or nah?
Then we RAVE to “Place in Life” by the late, great Blaxx. The 61-year-old soca icon recently passed away after losing his battle with COVID-19, but we will never forget his contributions to the genre.

THE RETURN: Babylon
Jamaica, Jamaica! In this episode, we RANT about the recent issues in Jamaica. Reggae icon Jah Cure is once again headed to jail, but this time in The Netherlands for stabbing a promoter over nonpayment of EUR 5,000. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge make a royal visit right when the country is considering removing The Queen as head of state. And, oh bacchanal! Jamaica Carnival may have two dates this year, causing many to question whether the Carnival is a money grab rather than a celebration of culture.
Then we RAVE to “Reflections” by Jah Cure. This might be the first time that our Rave is ironic.
