In this week's episode we have varied from our usual format. In this episode Fernando and our Host Kemi look into and discuss what really is the 'Soca Mafia'. Is it just radio DJs? Is it just the power of those who run the inner workings of the stations? Can it be the 'popular' local artistes who run the show?
