Former Calypso, Soca and Groovy Monarch, Finley Jeffery (Scholar) continues in the trend of “Hold What” and “Some Man”, by presenting songs addressing social issues in a manner that is uniquely Grenadian and spiced with dashes of humor.

In his 2009 selection titled “Stimulus Package,” Scholar sings about the plight of women who are burdened with men who are unable to perform in the bedroom. Scholar also educates listeners about various local homemade remedies for improving male virility. From Lambie Waters to Mauby Bark, Tania Log and Sea Moss, Scholar leaves no stone unturned.
