GW
Dominican Bouyon artist
Gwada G
Gwada G, real name Kernel Stevens, is a Dominican artist from Layou. He really breaks out with "Wake Me Up", landed alongside NICE. His current hit "Up To" goes viral on TikTok thanks to a left-to-right head movement that takes over feeds. His Saint Martin circulation then comes through BRG Hollywood — not from an SXM origin.

Why this profile matters
The profile locks the requested territory correction: Gwada G comes from Dominica (Layou), with an SXM bridge through WTHelly Bouyon. His real breakout is "Wake Me Up" with NICE, on DJ Taffy's Funny Riddim — a single that places him among the most-streamed Dominica artists of Nasty Business. The current hit, "Up To", explodes thanks to a left-to-right head movement that becomes a TikTok / Instagram trend. It's rare for a Bouyon single to land such a simple-to-replicate visual, and that's what pulls it out of niche. On the feature side, he keeps stacking: "2 Girls 1 Bed" with DJ Taffy in 2026, "Forever" with Freddy / Little Boy / Quan / Trixx in 2025, "Nasty Freestyle Medley" with Freddy / Little Boy / NICE in 2025, "Kak up" with Aknose in 2024 and "Deja Koke" with Kassidje in 2026. And the SXM bridge holds via WTHelly Bouyon — BRG Hollywood + BankrollGang + XavvoKnockin / Xavern Labega on production.

BR
SXM Bouyon artist
BRG Hollywood
After Tolly Boyz and their 2015-2017 moment, Saint Martin disappears from the Bouyon landscape for eight years. BRG Hollywood restarts the machine in 2025. His sequence is tight: Pocket Rocket opens the year, WTHelly Bouyon feat Gwada G drops May 16, 2025 on the BankrollGang label with production signed by Xavvoknockin, Nouveau La feat Jixels throws a bridge to the New Bouyon Wave in Guadeloupe, We Not Going Home feat C4 closes the SXM triangle, and Liff Up wraps the season. In 2026, BRG Happy with DJ Luchshiy plants him in the recent Bouyon streaming network. BRG is the name that reopens the SXM scene after eight years of platform silence.
C4
SXM artist
C4
C4 is an SXM artist credited as featuring on "We Not Going Home" with BRG Hollywood, an Apple Music single released in 2025. The track is one of the platform traces of the 2025 Saint Martin Bouyon wave, distinct from the Tolly Boyz 2015-2017 trajectory. His presence is strictly tied to this featuring. C4 must not be confused with Xavvoknockin, the SXM producer who signs other titles in the same BRG Hollywood network (see Xavvoknockin profile).

His studio signature appears on BRG Hollywood's WTHelly Bouyon feat Gwada G (May 16, 2025, BankrollGang label) per Shazam, and on catalog traces Jet2Holidays Bouyon Riddim and WGFT Bouyon. The Knockin Records label and Soca Records 2025 mention confirm his role in the SXM 2025-2026 platform phase, distinct from the artist C4.

Little Boy
Little Boy — also spelled Litleboy or Lil Boy depending on platforms — is one of the central voices of late-2020s Dominican Bouyon-Soca. In 2021, he features on Reo's "Dou dou", his first platform link. Then everything speeds up: between 2024 and 2026, his name appears on roughly twenty releases, most often with Quan, Trilla G, Freddy, Trixx, Gwada G or DJ Taffy. The peak: "Someone Else" with Quan and Trilla G wins Soca Collaboration of the Year at the 2025 Caribbean Music Awards.

NICE breaks out with "Situashion Ship" on DJ Taffy's Funny Riddim — the single that opens the door to Dominican Nasty Business. Right after, "Wake Me Up" with Gwada G consolidates the tandem. In 2024, "Without You" alongside Reo, Trilla-G, Unstoppable Shax and Quan Dawg — five voices on the same feature — installs him at the heart of the scene. The same year, la presse caribéenne cites him among Dominican nominees for Bouyon Artist of the Year at the Caribbean Music Awards. In 2025, he joins the main lineup of Strictly the Best Festival — Bouyon Edition in Saint Martin.
