Menace

The story so far.

Written and edited by Smokiller

Menace, who also releases music as Menace XL, is a soca artist and a regular in the Party Monarch competition at Antigua Carnival. Petra the Spectator's history of the contest names him as the pioneer of a style some call Benna Soca, which joins traditional benna rhythms to modern soca. It also says he won the Groovy Monarch title in 2019 after five years of strong finals showings, and credits him with backing newer acts. Most of his carnival releases are on the MnM Music Group channel, including "Sand To The Beach" from 2015, "Release" for Antigua Carnival 2016, "Miserable" and "Problem Child" from 2017, and "Smooth Sailing". He also voiced "T.A.N.Y.A" on the Liberta Riddim in 2019. A video of him performing at the 2025 Soca Monarch shows he was still competing that year. "Smooth Sailing" and "Sand To The Beach" are the most viewed of his official videos.
