I Know Y in 2024: stepping into Dominica's Nasty line

In 2024, when Faithii jumps on "I Know Y" with Kenny G and Reo, she lands straight into the "Nasty" line of Dominican bouyon, the one that keeps the rough, carnival, explicit tradition, next to the platform-facing New Bouyon Wave from Guadeloupe. Sitting in the Nasty pole is a readable stylistic choice: Faithii is not trying to fit the polished, algorithm-friendly bouyon grid, she stands in the line that claims Dominican bouyon identity without compromise. Her alias "Bouyon Barbie" quickly becomes a recognisable visual signature, a strong aesthetic position that completes the sound signature and gives her a brand identity you spot instantly on video platforms and social media. Later that year, "SUPERSTAR" confirms her public buzz.

Money Over Love 2024 and Come On Baby 2025: the Tha Wizzard / Kenny G network

In 2025, the collaborative EP "Money Over Love" with Reo, followed by "Come On Baby" with Trilla G produced by Tha Wizzard, settle Faithii inside the Tha Wizzard / Kenny G network that shapes today's Nasty scene. That collaborative network is one of the most stable of the 2024-2025 end of cycle on the Dominica side, it keeps a stylistic thread between releases and gives fans who have followed for several cycles a scene they can read. The EP format with Reo is a heavy collaborative investment that goes well beyond a single feature, and it confirms Faithii as a structural voice, not an occasional guest. That same year she receives "Female Artist of the Year" at the Dominica Music Awards 2025, listed as "Bouyon Barbie Faithii" among the winners.

World Creole Music Festival 2026: the stage seal

In 2026, the Dominican press includes Faithii in the official line-up of the 25th World Creole Music Festival, alongside Vybz Kartel (Jamaican dancehall legend) and Bunji Garlin (major Trinidadian soca figure). That booking is a concrete stage seal: the WCMF is one of the region's institutional Creole festivals, and placing Faithii on the official line-up of the 25th anniversary edition sets her as one of the Dominican voices of the moment. In the "Women of bouyon" chapter, Faithii embodies the Bouyon Barbie line exactly: a Dominican female voice claiming the traditional Nasty identity and reaching institutional recognition (Dominica Music Awards, WCMF) without smoothing her project for the international streaming grid.
