BET Jams to feature Soca Cypher tomorrow March 2

By Shirvan Williams

Soca is set to get yet another piece of the international spotlight as songbird Melly Rose, producer Stadic, and Producer of Social Media at BET Travis Harris are gearing up to present the first Soca Cypher.

The show will feature some up-and-coming powerhouses in the genre including Nessa Preppy, Erphaan Alves, Sekon Sta, Preedy, Mical Teja, and Melly Rose. The special segment will premiere on BET Jams Wednesday, tomorrow March 2nd.

According to a release from Playbook MG:

“Creative management by Travis Harris, Stadic, and Melissa “Melly” St. Rose made for the perfect complement to the artists’ flowing freely on the riddim. Stadic, who also hosts the show with DJ Ana on the turntable, produced the record, and Lee Aleong produced the video filmed by Ten Global Media. The Soca Cypher was produced and filmed at Mahogany Ridge in Trinidad’s picturesque North Coast.

After noting the lack of representation in the international market, the team created a platform for their musical peers. The trio wanted to reach even more audiences by highlighting where the music has grown. One of those places is Trinidad, home of many talented artists like Fay-Ann Lyons, Patrice Roberts, Nailah Blackman, Machel Montano, and Melly Rose. The BET Cypher usually takes place in October every year. Last year they extended the event to include reggae culture. That cypher showcased ZJ Liquid, Shenseea, Koffee, Skip Marley, to name a few.”
