Like the Jeffersons, he is moving on up! Farmer Nappy, the beloved Soca music hitmaker, has officially been crowned MTV IGGY’s Artist of the Week—a major nod to his growing global appeal and fan-favorite status. This is long overdue and marks a promising step toward wider visibility in the American music scene, and we couldn’t be prouder.
But wait—what is MTV IGGY?
MTV IGGY is a global music platform dedicated to discovering the next wave of international superstars. From African hip hop to Brazilian baile funk, Chinese punk to Swedish folk rock, they spotlight artists pushing boundaries and shaping the future of sound. Their website features daily reviews, exclusive performances, interviews, and deep dives into emerging genres and cultures.
Farmer Nappy’s inclusion signals something powerful: Soca is not just Carnival music—it’s global music. MTV IGGY is actively promoting this message.
📺 The MTV IGGY Show premieres October 17th across MTV, MTV2, mtvU, and more. Keep your eyes peeled—Soca might just be coming to a screen near you.
On October 17th, The MTV Iggy Show, a weekly showcase for the best new global music, will premiere on MTV, MTV2, mtvU, and other broadcast MTV channels, so stay tuned! Wherever you are, MTV Iggy is coming to you."
Let us spread awareness of the culture of the Caribbean diaspora.
We do this to promote Caribbean culture, musicians, and music producers. We are able to honor and promote the rich sounds and stories of the Caribbean thanks to your support. Together, we can ensure that this rich cultural legacy reaches a wider audience and fosters creativity and connections. While it is important to always purchase music, you should avoid sharing promotional music because doing so denies essential revenue to songwriters, producers, and artists. You can find all of our posts online on social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Spotify, and SoundCloud. We recommend that you explore your favorite content on FeedSpot/RSS Feed, Threads, Bluesky, and Twitter/X, including email subscriptions. Thank you in advance.
