Kerwin Du Bois Essentials

"That bumpah is too real, it dangerous", mock-complains a presumably sweat-soaked Kerwin Du Bois on "Too Real", the soca jam with which he captured Trinidad and Tobago's Groovy Soca Monarch title in 2014. Known for layered harmonies and wine-happy melodies, T&T-born Du Bois had already broken out with "Bacchanalist" and went on to fill mixtapes with real, rude and really rude hits like "Wettin", "Dear Drunk People" and "Stink Face". Du Bois is equally esteemed as a first-call producer, writer and collaborator, as demonstrated by the high-energy delights of Machel Montano's "Madology (King Kong Krew)" and Lavaman's bumptious "Like Nike".
