This week, we are talking di tings with a trailblazer and trendsetter, not just in Grenadian Soca, but Soca in general; International Recording Artiste, Muddy. 

Known for his impeccable cadence, commanding performances, and lyrical depth, Muddy has earned top placements in Grenada’s Soca Monarch competition, including second place in 2024 and 2015, and third in 2018. However, accolades have never been the goal, as he makes clear in this episode. When you listen to his music, you can hear his conviction and unwavering belief that he was born for this. 

Rooted in his Grenadian heritage and deeply influenced by Jamaican culture, Muddy’s sound blends Soca, Reggae, Dancehall, and Hip Hop into a sound that's entirely his own; genre-fluid, but spiritually focused. 

In this episode, Muddy shares his creative rituals, including his rare ability to compose entire songs without writing down a single lyric; an intuitive process reminiscent of legendary artistes like Jay-Z. Muddy also shares his gratitude for his praying mother, the role of reflection and accountability in his growth, his top five dream collaborations, and how reverence for culture continues to guide his artistic journey.

We also discuss the internationally acclaimed “Payroll,” one of Muddy's most resonant songs to date; not through the lens of virality, but through its poetic structure. 

         “When stars align, greatness outshines all hatred in space and time…”

A lyric that reads like a mantra, reminding us that true greatness does not shout for attention; it arrives through alignment, patience, and clarity.

This episode is not just about music. It’s a reflection on resilience, determination, and the importance of trusting God’s timing, while standing confidently in your greatness.

So grab your tea, coffee, or a glass of wine, and let’s talk di tings!
