Two sweet!
Close to $300 000 was up for grabs at Bushy Park for Soca Royale yesterday.
With the raise of a hand, the roll of a bumper and Mo Fyah, the Soca Kartel combination was Ready Again to dominate the party competitions in the Sweetest Summer Festival and take the lion’s share of the prizes. On their own and together as Soca Kartel, Blood and Mikey they took about $169 295.29 of the pot.
In the year he celebrates his 30th anniversary in entertainment, Blood’s Ah Can’t Wait helped him to his first Sweet Soca title with a total of 473. Blood also walked away with a car and other prizes including cash totalling $66 895.29.
Biggie Irie, who was a popular choice going into yesterday’s show, finished second with 471 points, while Red Plastic Bag had to settle for third. His Right Now earned him 453 points.
