Rane gets ‘Dutty.’ US Based Artist Moves to Penetrate Soca Market.
Some artistes must work hard to perfect it, while others possess the package and merely take their place among the greats. For US based, Trinidad and Tobago born artist, Rane Blackman, artistry comes naturally and skill has been honed consistently.
Now on active duty with the US Navy, the Maloney raised entertainer is more driven than she’s ever been and as 2022 stands on the horizon, Rane releases ‘Dutty’, a soca track that she believes will be the career launcher she’s been anticipating.
Rane’s been a favorable artiste on the international Soca circuit for some time. In 2014, the young, talented singer made a decision to hold back on her first Soca release, choosing instead to complete her Bachelor’s Degree before proceeding. Later, she ensured that her voice was heard, delivering on her promise to herself to enter the ring and stand erect alongside her favourite female entertainers, among them, Nadia Batson, Destra Garcia and Fay Ann Lyons.
In what is typically a male dominated industry, this brave New Yorker stepped boldly into the limelight, delivering like she’d been in the game for many years. In 2020, her single, ‘Bam Bam’ on the Explore Riddim brought a vibe, and last year, even as the pandemic halted true feting expression globally, Rane demonstrated determination, unleashing a single called, ‘My Behavior’ and backing it up with a video in March.
Now, like clockwork, and with that same determination to succeed in the business, Rane brings ‘Dutty’, a song with pure fire that’s guaranteed to be a favourite among the ladies. “This song was written by Keelan ‘Azaryah’
Callender, produced by District 6 Recording Studios and recorded by Peter ‘Wildfire’ Noel,” explained Kyle Lee Sing of Jamdong Management – the team that manages Blackman. “Dutty is a fiery track that will have every waistline moving. That’s a guarantee,” he said.
Kyle explained that both he and Rane first heard the song when Azaryah brought it to them. “We immediately liked it and decided to record the track at Wildfire and Flo’s studio in Queens.” The rest is history, as the saying goes, and now with the track completed and distributed digitally to all major streaming platforms, Rane is excited for everyone to get a true taste of her energy.
As hardworking as she is talented and beautiful, Rane says she understands the importance of presence and consistency. She knows her efforts will not be in vain and with a mindset to win, this Maloney girl is bent on making her every dream come true.

Terri Lyons Expands. Artiste Shows Immense Creativity on New RC Mas Monday Wear.
There’s no box to be held in. Terri Lyons is proving that as she moves into the Monday Wear market, partnering with RC Mas ahead of Carnival 2027.
The reigning Calypso Monarch Queen of Trinidad and Tobago and multiple time Queen of Queens, on Thursday, revealed her creative ability in the mas making sector, sharing her design, ‘Purple Paradise’ – a carefully created design that’s all hers.
The entertainer told Ebuzztt she had the idea and went to the masterful, Kinaji Couture, admitting that Kinaji is a force in the market. “She does a lot of bathing suits and prototypes for bands locally, regionally and further abroad. I knew she could do it and she did execute it perfectly. I just added the flowers,” said Lyons.
In 2027, RC Mas will bring Mystical Garden to life and with the band’s theme considered, Lyons’ floral embellishment makes it abundantly clear that her creativity is disciplined and mindful. She shared her process exclusively with Ebuzztt, highlighting the time taken to design with pen and paper before sharing with Kinaji who brought it all together seamlessly. “This was a lot of work. I sat and drew it all out and I stuck every flower and the diamond studs myself,” said Terri, before adding, “I ain’t doing that again,” with a laugh. The artiste said she’ll have extra hands on board to assist in future.
