On the terrace of the Lot Bar & Grill, a mic on a stand is waiting. A keyboard player sets up on the side, the guests take their seats on the benches. Trilla-G opens, then hands it over. For eight minutes fifty-one, six voices take turns at the same mic.

Bouyon New Waves
"Up Next Cypher, Vol. 1" is in the playlist. The cream of bouyon: current hits, emerging artists and underrated voices, picked by TIITII NBA.
On Friday, October 2, "Up Next Cypher, Vol. 1" lands on streaming platforms, and the video follows the next day. Trilla-G spells out the idea: rising artists from all over Dominica, showing their raw talent and their own sound. The title carries the words Vol. 1.
G'z Up takes the mic right after Trilla-G. G'z Up's introduction video passes 8,500 likes in two days, the highest count of the seven. Next comes Ras B, a rap and bouyon artist from Dominica according to Ras B's own profile, whom Trilla-G introduces as a fan favorite on the rise. Then Avatar Omish, whose profile shows the flags of Dominica and Antigua and Barbuda, and who released a twelve-track album, "FREEDOM TO CARTI THE CAT", five days earlier.
Don Lash follows, in a white cap and dark glasses. Then Pa Pel, whom Trilla-G introduces as a literal younger brother. Prhymex closes it out, with a catalog going back to 2022: a first EP, "Lyrical Healing", in February 2022, "Paka Jwé" in August 2024, and features with Litleboy and Real Reel.
Kwib La Beats produces the instrumental. ThaWizZarD plays the keys and handles the mixing and mastering. It all comes out on Still Trill Entertainment, the name behind Trilla-G's singles. "Now I've evolved into freestyling," Trilla-G says in April. The cypher is the group version of that: at the end, everyone is dancing around the keyboard.
