If you could go open a show for any artist who would it be?
S0LO: I would probably say Future or Roddy ricch.
Talk me through your creative process.
S0LO: Well, my creative process is all about first making sure I’m around “GOOD VIBES!” and then I work with my engineer/producer to come up with a direction I feel like going in then it is off to the harmonies and structure.
How do you solve productivity/scheduling problems and reduce overwhelming situations?
S0LO: I make sure when I go to the studio I don’t waste time and I get as much done with my time as possible so that the productivity never stops. I make sure I’m in the studio recording every week so I stay on schedule.
What are you focusing your time on now?
S0LO: Constantly adding to my catalog and working on releasing more content and music.
How do you currently feel about the state of “Your genre” in general?
S0LO: I feel like it’s always evolving and getting more and more interesting by the day and although at times I feel like a lot of new artist sound alike I feel like change is coming and I can’t wait to share what I’ve been working on.

Kalpee Honors Heritage and Heart on His Emotion-Rich New EP Dougla Boi
Kalpee is back with Dougla Boi, a beautiful new EP that is both personal and powerful. It gives listeners a close look at the layers of identity, heritage, and emotion that make him who he is. The Trinidad and Tobago artist is confident in his own space, which is rooted in New Calypso and polished with hints of dancehall, R&B, and afrobeats. In this space, genre bends, but emotion leads.
Named after the Trinidadian word for someone of mixed African and Indian heritage, Dougla Boi is honest, proud, and warm about the complexities of culture. Kalpee opens a window into the dualities that define him across six tracks, turning personal truth into universal resonance. The EP is just under 19 minutes long, but every second is carefully planned to take listeners on a journey through courage, joy, healing, and the quiet strength that comes from accepting all parts of yourself.
The first single, “Under,” stands out right away for its calming yet emotionally charged experience. Kalpee’s voice flows over a beat that sounds both new and old, fitting the EP’s theme of bringing cultures together. It’s one of the best examples of how he can mix soft and hard sounds, which is what makes his New Calypso sound so unique.
“Everybody,” which features Full Blown, is another excellent song that has already done very well. It has a happy vibe and an infectious bounce, making it one of the EP’s most replayable songs. “Everybody” captures the spirit of community and shared experience, which is what Kalpee means when he says that identity is not a box but a rhythm.
