There’s been an outpouring of congratulatory messages flooding the World Wide Web, this as news broke yesterday that one of T&T’s most revered lyrical spitters had been signed to not one, but two international labels- one in the US and the other in the United Kingdom.

Bunji Garlin

Bunji Garlin has been signed to VP Records and French label, Playon.

On Kes the Band’s Facebook page, the message, “Congrats to our brother @bunjigarlin !! Moving from strength to strength. Bless. VIKINGS!!,” symbolized a strong sense of appreciation for the continued efforts of ‘Differentology’ vocalist, Bunji Garlin who has sealed music deals with VP records in the United States and independent music label, Playon in the United Kingdom in recent weeks. According to an article on international Caribbean website, www.jayblessed.com, the French music house’s co founder, Sebastien Duclos says Garlin’s signing to the French label is a ‘huge priority’ for the company as their expectations are indeed great as they look toward the end of this year and into 2014.

ETCETERABUZZ.COM spoke with Garlin last month and while he remained quiet on what exactly was going down, he said it would be something big and he certainly wasn’t lying. The chain of events that has spooled in somewhat of a whirlwind effect started earlier this year when Bunji released ‘Differentology’ to the masses. During the excitement of that single’s penetration locally and overseas, there came word that his 2011 single, ‘Tun Up’ was being remixed by the acclaimed duo- Jus Now. Vibe Magazine online later wrote about the remixed single in a short online blurb that made heads turn back at home in T&T. Beyond that, ‘Differentology’ was remixed by Major Lazer who sent the single, via their strategic crossover touch, into another marketing and promotional dimension- one that included the European market no doubt.

Praise for Bunji and his team continues to pour in. Calypsonian David Rudder posted a picture of the infamous ‘iSpaniard’ with the caption, “Congrats to Bunji on your new international record deal. All the best to you and fam,”- testimony of the fact that the Asylum camp is doing something right and in doing so, their moves are being closely watched by even the seniors in T&T’s music industry.

Bunji was recently spotted at the launch of the newest carnival masquerade band on the scene in Trinidad and Tobago, Flirt Carnival. The artiste has been traveling almost non stop since Carnival 2013 so some down time at home this past Sunday must have been truly appreciated.

Canadian rapper, Drake is once again teaming up with Caribbean entertainers, delivering a brand new album called, ‘Maid of Honor,’ which is now available on all streaming platforms. It was one of three albums the artiste simultaneously dropped on May 15th – the other two being ICEMAN and HABIBTI.

Rapper, Drake has released three new albums simultaneously.

One of the singles on ‘Maid of Honor,’ called ‘BBW’ features the work of Trinidad and Tobago entertainer, Denise ‘Saucy Wow’ Belfon – her 1998 track, ‘Work.’

The lyrics, ‘Put Yuh Back in It’ became a trending expression on TikTok in 2020 when it became a challenge on the popular platform. That viral opportunity six years ago, led to the song’s resurgence and Belfon’s name being called by younger generations whose parents, aunts and uncles would’ve more than likely grown up on her music and performances in the Caribbean. Fast forward to 2026, and Belfon is once again enjoying a viral moment as news broke that her song had been sampled by Drake. “Everything is legitimate and I want to thank the team – Fabian Alfonso, a copyright specialist out of Trinidad and Tobago ; He was very instrumental in making this deal become reality, said Belfon in a chat with Ebuzztt, before expressing gratitude to several other instrumental people, and Drake’s OVO team.

In 2022, dancehall artiste, Shenseea and rapper, Megan Thee Stallion also sampled ‘Work’ on the single, ‘Lick.’ Belfon, who lives in New York, had, at that time, attended a release party at a nightclub in New York, where Shenseea acknowledged the Soca artiste’s influence on the new release.

The Maid of Honor album delivers 14 singles and added to T&T’s Denise Belfon, Jamaican artiste, Popcaan is also featured on a single called, ‘Amazing Shape.’

Denise Belfon’s personality and charisma has, for a very long time, made her a fan favorite in the Caribbean. A vocal powerhouse and unique stage performer, she has stood the test of time in the Soca music industry, having created massive soca anthems like ‘Work,’ ‘Wine and Bend Over’ and ‘Wining Queen’ among countless other flavorful singles.

Caribbean Fashion Is A Big Deal. Designer, Ecliff Elie Expands With Women In Mind.

Caribbean fashion is top tier. In a world of copy and paste designs, Caribbean brands like the incomparable Ecliff Elie, stand in a class of their own. Earlier this month, the menswear brand made a major announcement and whether you’ve heard or not, we’re here to tell you, this is huge.

The Ecliff Elie brand will now be delivering its seamless, tailored appeal to women. The brand is known for its precision tailoring and disciplined garment construction so with that at its foundation, women can now feel the complete effect of the Ecliff Elie touch. The company steps out into this aspect of its business after what it says has been years of delivering this service privately to women. Dubbed ‘Bespoke — Tailored for Women,’ Ecliff Elie is now offering the service, at scale.

The introduction reflects a focused extension of Elie’s established approach to tailoring – one built on proportion, control, and consistency. Each garment is developed through a guided process that considers posture, movement, and presence, ensuring that the final result aligns with how the individual operates and presents herself.

From custom blazers to trousers, skirts, and dresses, customers will now be able to get their custom designed Ecliff Elie apparel, through a consultation-led process where every decision—from cut to finish—is deliberate. The company says fabric selection will be approached with the same level of discipline, with materials chosen for structure, performance, and longevity, allowing each piece to maintain its standard over time.

“This is not a new direction,” Elie states. “It is a continuation of work I have done over time, now introduced with structure and clarity.”

With more than three decades of experience, Ecliff Elie has consistently positioned presentation as a defining factor in how individuals are perceived. His work has guided clients across industries to approach style as a matter of precision and intent rather than preference.

“When the garment is correct, everything changes,” he adds. “You move differently. You carry yourself differently. That is the standard.”

As more women continue to operate at the highest levels across business, leadership, and professional environments, the demand for tailoring that reflects both authority and individuality has grown. This offering responds to that shift with a process designed to deliver consistency, clarity, and control.

Through Bespoke — Tailored for Women, Ecliff Elie continues to refine his approach while maintaining a clear focus on craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a disciplined standard of execution.
