DJ Roadblock – Friday, April 3, 2026

DJ Roadblock spins the weekend playlist, processes the 38% tariff through soca, and sends off the CARIFTA team with maximum energy.

This is satire. Characters and scenarios are fictional. Any resemblance to real persons, statements, or events is used for commentary and entertainment purposes.

DJ Roadblock on the ones and twos. Good Friday edition. The vibes are complicated but the music still sweet.


EHHH! Good Friday morning Guyana! DJ Roadblock here, and listen — we have a LOT to process this weekend. So Roadblock going give you the playlist to process it with.

🎵 TRACK 1: “Pressure Drop” — Toots and the Maytals Because 38% tariff just drop on we head. Pressure drop indeed, bai. Pressure. Drop.

🎵 TRACK 2: “Money in the Grave” — Drake For the US$82 million that went to Wales Gas Plant contractor. Quietly. Very quietly. Rest in peace to that money.

🎵 TRACK 3: “Not Easy” — Arrow Classic Montserrat soca. Because fighting for your workers’ rights and then getting fired for it — like Lorenzo from BOSAI — is NOT easy. Not easy at all.

🎵 TRACK 4: “Fake” — Alexander O’Neal For the fake medical certificates flooding the tint waiver system. Fake. Fake. Fake. Allyuh really thought a forged doctor’s note would work? In 2026?

🎵 TRACK 5: “Run the World” — Beyoncé For the 24 CARIFTA athletes touching down in Grenada RIGHT NOW. Run the track. Run the hurdles. Run everything. Bring back them medals!

🎵 TRACK 6: “Survival” — Bob Marley Because that is the energy required to navigate a 38% tariff, a secret US$82M payment, fake tint waivers, a BOSAI union buster, AND cargo delays all in the same week.

🎵 TRACK 7: “Beautiful Day” — U2 Because Project FLOW is bringing clean water to 155 schools and that is genuinely a beautiful thing regardless of everything else happening.

🎵 TRACK 8: “Soca Kingdom” — Machel Montano Because it is Good Friday and the weekend is here and the music don’t stop for tariffs.


Roadblock out. Have a reflective Good Friday, Guyana. Pray for the athletes. And maybe say a little prayer for the treasury too.

DJ Roadblock spins every Friday. The decks don’t discriminate — joy and chaos both get equal airtime.
