Deejay Mad Cobra was recently the victim of burglary. His Portmore home was robbed of valuables worth thousands of dollars while he was away in Canada. Mad Cobra noted that he was more interested in getting the hard drive back more than anything else, despite the cost of the other valuables because it housed hundreds of new unrecorded songs. "I don't even want to know it's who, cause circumstances make people do certain things sometimes, and the country in a certain state. Mi just need the hard drive, the oblong shaped thing cause it important to me.”

Soca Switch, the tenth in a series of much anticipated Soca compilations, is loaded with nothing but top-10 hits from Trinidad Carnival 2004. Soca Switch 10 is a must have CD for all who missed Carnival this year or want the grooves to reminisce by. The 13-track CD has hits by some of Trinidad's most popular soca stars including the ever-popular Machel Montano, Super Blue's baby girl Fay Ann Lyons, Destra, Bunji Garlin, and the list goes on. The CD opens with Shurwayne Winchester's “The Band Coming” (Trinidad Carnival's Road March winner 2004). From there we move into Machel's “Craziness”, another outstanding tune from one the genre's most talented artists. The Carnival vibe electrifies with Destra's Up in the Air. This CD is known as Perfect Ten for a reason.

Success also brings the winds of change for Baby Cham. The Dancehall deejay who recently signed a multi album deal with to Atlantic Records has found his image at the mercy of the corporate legal maze.

So Baby Cham, who is still riding high on the success of “Vitamin S” will now be simply known as Cham, just Cham.
