This is a brief catch-up post as we work to feature all the new Carnival 2026 releases.
Ras Kommanda enters the conversation with a calypso that combines elements of satire, frustration, and social truth. Through a reasoning with a friend, he lays out a bold new “crime plan”: if Trinidad really wants to tackle crime, start by jailing a millionaire every month.
The song argues that corrupt millionaires—the ones with access, influence, and deep pockets—play a major role in the flow of guns, drugs, and dirty money. Meanwhile, poor people fill up the jails, while the “big criminals,” often disguised in suits and titles, walk free on bail before they even feel hungry.
Kommanda challenges the long‑standing imbalance: jail wasn’t built for only poor men. White‑collar crime, he says, is rampant, yet untouched. The voice of the Calypso is powerful, and Ras Kommanda calls out hypocrisy, selective justice, and the way the system shields those with power while punishing those without.
With humor, grit, and a touch of old‑school calypso bite, My Crime Plan pushes listeners to question who really benefits from the current system—and who the real criminals might be.
