King Mas
When talking about artists of our era, one unforgettable name that must not be overlooked is rising singer/songwriter/musician MasSicker aka King Mas. For many years now 
MasSicker aka King Mas has been featured in the Unique Reggae Mix Show so regular listeners of the Unique Reggae Mix will be familiar with his distinctive sound and style of singing with cultured messages of love and unity, not to be mistaken with other artists that have appeared recently using a similar name. Very few match MasSicker aka King Mas’s vocal skills and musical abilities.
The Tunes
Right from the introduction “Call Di Doc” you can tell that this album is well produced. This song is a great introduction, catching our attention with a powerful dancehall riddim this song draws us into this brand new album released in September 2012 from Viral Sounds Entertainment. Straight away I knew that MasSicker was coming at us with a very strong work or art. Moving onto more my style of song we have “Fade Away” which in my ears i feel is a really big tune. This song is not just vocally brilliant but also the riddim is tight and flowing, with its old school roots dub feel and heavyweight baseline completes this song into being a hit.
“Pain” has been featured in the Unique Reggae Mix Show several times now recently and will certainly be featured again, one thing an artist should be able to do is to make us feel through the power of sound, connect with us and this is a perfect example of MasSicker’s musical skill as a singer, songwriter. Sweet vocals that are balanced well with just the right touch of backing vocals. Several tracks into this album “One Wish” and already we can emotionally relate to this clever masterpiece from a talented thoughtful musician.
Don’t Touch
“Don’t Touch” is a serious subject that needs to be more widely covered by more artists to highlight and open eyes to those that don’t see it, helping those who are scared to come forward for them to know that its okay. In this day and age its sad to say that we are more than likely going to know someone that has had to deal with this situation but not been able to talk of it. I hope this tune lets those effected know that its okay to reach out for help if need be, and for those that think they know someone thats in that situation to give a helping hand. All on an easy listening beat it makes for us to hear the important message that MasSicker is bringing to our ears.
