Veteran calypsonian, Hunter, has won the 2013 police calypso competition held at the DPSU on Saturday night.
He beat nine other calypsonians to take the title.
Exposer took the first runner-up position, Sye came third and Checko, fourth.
This win by the three-time carnival calypso monarch comes just one day after his withdrawal from the national calypso competition following allegations that he cheated at the 2013 calypso semi-final, by performing with lyrics written on the palm of his hand, which was captured on video.
The police calypso competition was held in conjunction with the annual Fete Fanatik which featured Digital Vibes, WCK and organizer of the event, Fanatik.
Seems this thing was setup by Daddy Chess for his wife to go through. Just saying!
they always say yr friend is yr worst enemy tell Hunter check his friends they put his secret outside
It is Hunter himself who wrote and sang the song “Typical Dominican” with the line “When some people like you, you can burn down a city, you never guilty”
great observation!
Hunty my king keep singing cause you are one one of the few calipsonians that make sense, long live my king hunter
King Hunter… Again!! When are we going to see that King Hunter Concert, similar to what you participated in when De Hurricane did his thing for his 10th Anniversary back in ’97?
My tail is much tooooooooo long for me to pass judgement on King hunter. This story has a lot for us to learn from and let those who have no sin cast the first stone. It seems some of us get angry when God releases his mercy but praise God, He has no favourites and it is he alone who has a big right arm.
Blessings to all
Is the truth blessings
Hunter, wa happen?, is like de only crown you can win now ??
Thank God for computer and cell phone for a lot of nonsense go through in them

Huntie Baby you always be my king. One who is able to write, produce and market his material. You will continue to be a peoples king, respected and loved no matter what they do and say.

The love definetly flowed in Borne last weekend so doh feel no way all is not lost. We love you Huntie Baby…..Sa yo dit yo dit. nous pas malee…
What happened to Exposer this year? I missed him in the competition!!
Congrats Hunter! You are a talented calypsonian and will continue to realize success in all related endeavors. For those that can’t let things go, Hunter did the right thing, withdrew from the finals and moved on! Let’s follow his lead, life without learning experiences is not worth living.
That’s my King and he will always be my King
congratulation hunter, dont worry with all the negative things people have to say about you.keep your head held high.
Well Done Hunter
Wrong is wrong and right is right no matter who!! Laws were made for everyone to abide by. It is a sad state that our society celebrates wrong and glorifies those who commits it based on who they are. Hunter did wrong so you his supporters stop sugar coating what was done..If you want to show support to him after this incedent go look for him personnally and help him during his recovering to get over this saga but stop making a fool out of yourselves by all your public remarks on DNO. What a shame.!! Wrong is wrong.
It seems you own D.N.O. man go set up your own site and post all your holier than thou comments. One can feel the negative energy coming from your post. I wish you would come forward{ MR PERFECT!}and tell us you never faultered or made a mistake in your life time? Thats why todays technology is a necessary Evil cause some can hide behind their computer and act like you wise guy, go shake your bag where you sold your coal. Not a hater pal. Mister we have to agree to disagree without being judgemental.
In Dominica wrong is wrong depending on who commits the wrong. In the case of hunter and associates wrong is always right. If it was dice even his rite will be a wrong.
Although it was not confirmed that he did wrong, yet he is accused of it. I suppose that you never do wrong one way or the other. Examine your conscience.
blessings to you my bro. continue the good work you accustom of doing. Promoting calypso any where and every where you go, and continue to be the embassador you are. continue speaking to the young ones. May his light shine on you. There will always be good and bad. the greatest fruit of the spirit is LOVE and it congers all.
the money was scarce this time so sye had to perform
Hunter made a mistaken but please, dont keep on punishing him for that. Hunter in my opinion, is well respected and has done well for Calypso in Dominica. Congratulations Hunter !!
The money was scarce this time so The Sye had to perform NO road march $3000.00 NO going to finals $5000.00 No new york for labor Day . So the $10,000
he made last year HE not nothing Close to it this year So he crying Mi Daba
In your dreams
What Sye crying for? Sye is a hard worker, he survived before the 10,000 and will continue to survive.
Seriously? You all really think Hunter cheated? Why don’t you think of it this way, Somebody else wrote on his hand, he thought of the opening to a book that he wanted to write and quickly jotted on his hand (Lol) OR that was just a plot to get Electra in…hmm?
Hunter….good luck……go easy…stay focus and stay away from the Heng..they will hang u there….u r a good man take your mstakes , cry and move on..u r only human like all of us….doh fall for that blame game……Matt, Lennox Q 95 ( are patriots) represented you the best way..no hiding, no excuses, come up clean and straight…stay away from crying calypsoians. Be a champion, be a king…god bles….see u in london sometime soon.
If the glove do not fit you MUST AQUIT! The crown is proof that whatever was written on his palm was really NOT part of his lyrics.
well done.
Straight from the heart, man, hunter. Your calypsoes come straight from your heart to your pen to your song. Let them beat that.
They wanted to get ride of you but they can’t no matter what they do. You are a real man, and that’s what real men do over come their hurdles. Tell lennox what next does he have to throw at you.
Hunter and Caressa are two of the real calysonians in Dominica, as majority of the others sing soca-lypso. Black Diamiond, only in his second year is also singing real calypso. I cannot judge, but I do not believe Hunter cheated.
Having said this, all the best to the finalist. I trust that the judging at the finals will be fair and unbiased.
Only in Dominica one is rewarded for cheating.This is a failed state
Maybe that’s not the first time. He is losing memory but i do feel sorry for him he is a very great calypso. But i think Q95fm is doing an awesome job.
Our people really have it bad. Hunter wrote the words on his hands. Hunter gets caught. Hunter admitted to writing lyrics on his hand, but is the people who expose him who are bad…. One door close my foot! Hunter closed his own door! shucks!!!!
Hmmm seems like the hunter is now the hunted all i can say is the man write’s his own song it have some of them they out there so long still singing people political views for them.Hunter don’t let them write on u write on your self 1st it should go like this.
this year 2014 i showing my hand
left hand right hand i showing my hand
every body take ah whine but show your hand.
real possie
I can’t believe my Island has so many haters.
I hope they check his hands !
Hunter you doh have fence nuh papa. Weh! People murder, when DNO post the news item the comments are a handful. When those Papa’s are caught by the law, the comments are even fewer. Looks as if we are afraid the Papa’s and the murders come find us if we make a comment. Some lyrics Hunter had on his hand and we want to crucify him. It seem today that Hunter is the biggest criminal in Dominica wi papa. Poor Hunter.
Am i rading the right thing?? The law men are rewardiung a cheater with a crown, so we understand the utterances by the prime Minister No Law or no constitution, Keep on cheating Hunter for the rest of your life and you will be rewarded forever
Ease up on the man.
Its People like you that dont forgive and act so stupid.Looks like Hunter is suppose to sit back and greive. The man have to move on with his life.
Cia on the watch……seems to me you dont have a life. Get one.
You are just a pure J..A…
jalouzi say met socier!
‘Reading’
Who said he was cheating? Who are you? His enemy? It is not proven that he cheated. He voluntarily opted out of the finals. He said he did not write the lyrics on his hand. Therefore, give him the benefit of the doubt. Give him a break.
There are some people in the world who are always argumentative and negative about what they read, saying it is not true and it never happened. They never have words of kindness and encouragement and do not give compliment even though others deserve it. Anything said to them or what they read, they will always be doubtful to the point of criticism and denial. Such people are depressing. I also view them as unhappy and cantankerous people. Carrying on a conversation with them and providing an explanation are futile and a waste of time; likewise you and your comment.
You are no CIA.. Change your name to HATER instead.
Well he is a ‘veteran”, a seasoned finalist, and a three time monarch. Really did he need to participate in this competition? The same for the Sye.. Why not give these other guys a chance and instead perform as guest artists?
I agree with you IKR. Some people just love being in the lime light.
Was’nt the show for police officers? They are thats why they participated.
You are discriminating. If he was capable of participating in this competition, why not? Why should he be denied this privilege? He was deemed good enough to participate.
I had this same thought on reading the headline. They are policemen yes, but they have become professional in the calypso field..Organizers next time around let this show be to highlight the amateurs.
sot, its a police competition, what do you expect.
Hunter????? What a show…. shame on them… Exposer crown they gave you just for u to feel better. Gheeez when will Dominia Change?
Keep on eating your heart out and working yourself up.
i agree with you,was at the show,great show, was impressed with the talent.But that guy the Exposer was the BEST Calypsonian hands down.His package was well rapped and delivered.Hunter was good he delivered his song likewise most of the others,but what you state here makes sense.I agree,Istill like Hunter as a calypsonian.
You are an idiot!
miss one take one wii lol
CONGRATS ON THE WINNING OF THE POLICE KING
They just cya keep a good man down…..Congrats Hunter!!!
sekan de moshun
am happy to hear that .and that what would have happen in the national competion
Great job Hunter, keep calypso alive.
Do wrong today and you will be crowned the next day. Only in Dominica.
He who is without sin…… get over it!
Isnt that the same thing you said, when the people stole the salfish from Labasse and when Webb murdered the Bajan.
I don’t agree with persons taking the issue to another competition and the guy should be given some slack however, what’s with this “he who is without sin” ? Is that a card blanch to tolerate wrong doing? Which parent hasn’t done wrong on their young days? Does that give the patent the freedom to allow his/her child to go unpunished or not corrected for doing wrong?
It seem is Hunter alone that kill Jesus Christ. If we would only look in the mirrow, we would realize that all of us have dayfoe.
Another bold one with an accusation who could be hauled to Court for this. I suppose you are perfect to a “T”. If only!
If you don’t have nothing positive to say, y don’t you shut the hell up?
You are the BEST ever to come from this land of Dominica.We Love You.
a king will always a king!!!!
congrats hunter. who jah bless no man curse
CONGRATS HUNTER! What good for d goose good for d ganda. Every disappointment is a blessing! take yours!
I’ve always admired the fact that Hunter writes, performs and produces his own calypso.
Well done Hunter!
This is a true calypsonian!! Not those who only sing songs written by their puppet masters!!
Utter rubbish!! It’s great that he has the talent to write and sing his own songs, however do you know the number of songs that are aired everyday,number one hits that have been written by other people. Some of the greatest hits of all time sung by famous artists are the works of other talents. Does that make them Puppets of some master? IDIOT
it was given to him just for him to feel better i wonder if the words was on his hands
no, he had a note pad this time around
Eat your heart out and get over it! If people go all that length just to make him feel better what does that say about him? Pray than when you make your mistake we will be so understanding
Not on his hands, he had a billboard.
difay ka bwillay yoh
Envy will get you nowhere.
He performed well and so he deserved to win and to receive the crown.
congrats Hunter
congrats hunter keep it up u are a very courageous person
Congratulation Hunter when on door closes many more will open.
Well done Hunter
We love you for who you are.
no body beats the hunter
