Grenada for the win! One of the island’s most notable artistes, Mr. Killa has brought the energy of Soca to the big screen, internationally.

The ’Rolly Polly’ singer broadened his market reach earlier this month after his voice was used by the executive producer for the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, Glenda Cox. Ebuzztt understands that the production team reached out to Mr. Killa, citing his unique sound and versatility. The artist who co-owns a company called, Rebel1 Entertainment, essentially went on to create the show’s theme song, ”Housewives in the Island Babay.”

The opportunity is a significant one for Caribbean culture as Mr. Killa, who’s real name is Hollice Mapp, along with his team, have stepped into a space that hasn’t been easy to gain footing in, by most Caribbean music genres, especially Soca.

Here’s a look at the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip!

The Tobago Festivals Commission Limited has officially launched Tobago Heritage Festival 2025. The theme for this year’s Festival is “Time Longer Than Twine”.

This year’s theme pays homage to a local proverb that encourages patience and perseverance. It suggests that while a physical twine or rope has a limited length, time is endless and vast, meaning that if one is patient and works diligently, their desired outcome will eventually come to pass.

The month of July has also been declared ‘Heritage Month’ with islandwide events from July 4th to August 1st with the ‘Grand Opening Gala’ carded for July 10th. This event will be managed in partnership with the Tobago Performing Arts Company who will curate the event’s structure.

The Festival will also feature several iconic events such as Belmanna Riots in Roxborough, Courtship Codes in Golden Lane and Yesterday’s Children as well as signature events like Charlotteville’s Natural Treasures Day & the Tobago Ole Time Wedding in Moriah.
