Archived: Iwer George Get’s the All Clear. iUp Crowd Makes ‘Savannah’ A Certified Hit.

Iwer George is cementing his title as the Big Man in the business.

Iwer George is truly the Boss. Whether by popular demand or not, the Point Fortin native who’s been in the business for some 30 years, continues to cause chaos when he hits venues at Carnival time. This year, Iwer announced early on that he would be taking the Road March crown. Now, it very well looks like there’s little standing in his way.

Ebuzztt.com experienced the power of ‘De Boss’ on Sunday morning at Fantasy’s iUP event held at Pier I, Chaguaramas. A near sold out venue allowed for some good vibes no doubt, and with coolers around the venue from as early as 3am, patrons got their fill of their choice of spirits and were ready to enjoy the energy of their favourite entertainers, coupled with a good water soaking at the discretion of Junior Sammy.

A number of entertainers took to the stage at iUP, among them, Shal Marshall who continues to deliver a great show, the Ultimate Rejects, Bunji Garlin, Preedy, KMC who was given the opportunity to perform by Iwer, Shurwayne Winchester and of course, the water man himself, Neil Iwer George. His Road March contender, “Savannah” has been creeping up in recent days with many saying it’s their pick for the road. Others however contend that the song is not a Road March tune but rather a song that’s best suited for big fetes where big flag crews are king.

On Sunday morning, George infiltrated the Chagaramas venue like only he could, sending the young, energetic crowd into a frenzy of excitement. The water he’d called for was unceasing it seemed and without a care in the world, patrons at iUP jumped and waved like their God had been sent to relieve them of the tyranny of way too much groovy soca anthems.

Private Ryan- one of the soca industry’s most respected DJs was on hand to deliver the Soca hits people love and with Barry Hype in the mix, iUP made for a memorable Carnival 2018 event that will likely see even more support in the years ahead. A bigger venue we suspect may be in the cards for the next major event hosted by the Fantasy team.

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.
