This victory adds another jewel to Problem Child’s crown, reaffirming his place as one of Saint Vincent’s most consistent and creative voices in Soca. “Party Time" wasn’t just a tune—it was a movement. Its rhythm pulsed through every truck, every masquerader, and every reveler who felt the spirit of Vincy Mas come alive.
The official tally, shared by local carnival media, paints a clear picture of the competition’s energy:
🥇 Shertz “Problem Child” James — “Party Time” (53 plays)
🥈 (tie) Lamar “Blama” Allen — “Polygamy” (38 plays)
