He said he knew, just after winning the Road March title in 2017 that the powers that be, whoever they are, would never again allow it to happen. MX Prime, the man respected most by who understand him best, for his unapologetic truths, has done what least would have expected. He has released yet another Carnival 2018 anthem, merely two weeks away from Carnival Monday.

MX Prime says this song and every other tune delivered, were not written for Road March glory. 

MX Prime and his Ultimate Rejects brothers on Monday morning said their new release, and even those delivered before, has absolutely nothing to do with the Carnival competitions. The group appeared on the Red HOT Morning show on RED96.7FM with Rachel Price, Richard Trumpet and TimTim, releasing a track called simply, “For The People.”

Last week, Price lashed out at radio DJs and a particular urban radio station, arguing that Machel Montano’s song, collaborated on with Super Blue, “Soca Kingdom”, had been getting an unfair advantage as a result of the number of times it was being played by DJs who she again pounced on this morning. The Road March champs however seem unfazed by the present state of Soca music affairs in Trinidad and Tobago. The Ultimate Rejects remained adamant that the music should be for the people and so, with that, they unleashed what could be their final contribution for the Carnival 2018 season.

Meanwhile, there was reiteration of the issue of “pay for play” on another urban frequency this evening. Artiste and radio personality, Smooth opened the trivial can of worms during his talk show- the Make Up Or Break Up Show. There was an admission that the situation is real, with two of the frequencies DJs admitting that they had been approached by artistes who wanted to pay them to play their music. They however said, the unethical option was not entertained.

Check out the brand new release, for the people, delivered earlier today by The Ultimate Rejects! Remember, UR will be at Army Fete this Friday at the Queen’s Park Savannah! Tickets are said to be going fast and organizers expect another blockbuster event with the likes of Machel Montano, Bunji Garlin and Asylum and Kees, set to perform.
