Masicka: The ‘Mute’ anthem is pure energy and flexing goals
Could you use some fire reggae in your life? Look no further than what’s coming courtesy of Masicka these days especially with the new ‘Mute’ tune.
The song is absolutely fire and of course has ample placement around Attack The Culture and the homepage playlist. Geek out.
On a rapid rise towards global superstardom, Jamaica-born multi-talented singer, songwriter, deejay, and leader of the next generation of dancehall stars Masicka turns up the heat with a brand new summer-ready single entitled “Mute” out now via Def Jam Recordings. Listen HERE.
This follows Masicka’s leading nominations for the Caribbean Music Awards, including
Dancehall Artist of the Year, Dancehall Song of the Year, and Reggae Song of the Year.
This track illuminates his inclination for seamless genre-mashing. On the track, icy piano pierces through punchy production laced with head-nodding hip-hop drums. Masicka switches up his flow with ease, alternating between slick syncopation and a heart-racing cadence. Don’t let the title fool you; “Mute” gets loud during its chantable chorus. He continues to pepper timeless dancehall rhythms with a fresh flavor of his own.
Get ready for a whole lot more from Masicka soon.
“Mute” also drops on the heels of “Whites (Remix)” featuring French Montana. The latter has surged on DSPs, amassing north of 2.3 million YouTube views on the music video. Inciting tastemaker applause, VIBE plugged the song, and Kaboom Magazine spotlighted it as “another massive remix.” Meanwhile, Urban Islandz affirmed, “Masicka has been having an impressive run in dancehall over the past few years.”
Back in 2023, he unveiled Generation of Kings powered by fan favorites “Tyrant,” “LimeLight,” “Wet” [feat. Fridayy], and more. Beyond posting up tens of millions of streams and views, he received widespread acclaim. Billboard applauded how “Equally introspective and biting, Masicka’s lyrics — which explore everything from settling beef to reflections on his childhood — perfectly complement his penchant for lush melodic lines and reverb-drenched harmonies.” DANCEHALLMAG proclaimed, “it becomes easy to see why Masicka reiterates his given position as a young legend in Dancehall.” TIDAL attested, “Masicka wants the world to know he stands ready to safeguard its history and keep the real culture alive.”
Masicka continues to make waves. He received a YouTube Award for attracting over 1 million subscribers to his channel and over 580 million YouTube views. His most recent independent LP, 438, became “Jamaica’s #1 album of 2022 on Spotify” and “the first project to spend an entire year in the Top 10 on Apple Music Jamaica.” He emerged as “one of three Jamaican artists in Spotify Wrapped Jamaica for a Top 10 Album.” Along the way, KAZI hailed him as “a great storyteller and a genuinely generational talent who understands what he is doing,” and GRUNGECAKE assured, “Jamaica’s Masicka is holding us down on the positivity front.”
