Masicka racked up the views for his new video, “Just A Minute.”
Masicka is once again on his way back to what is seemingly his favorite chill spot—#1 on trending—with his latest set of visuals for “Just A Minute.” Released a couple hours ago, the video is currently number 7 on trending and has racked up over 100K views on YouTube already.
The Genahsyde recording artiste has recently been appointed as an ambassador for Dragon Stout, adding to the sold-out worldwide gigs and International Reggae and World Music Award (IRAWMA) nominations that have followed him into a successful, lucrative year. The deejay has made consistent strides in his nearly five-year career and is back to take over summer 2020 with a scorching new banger for the ladies.
Filmed on location at Sabina Park, Masicka matches the playful metaphors of the song with scenes fit for flexing with some hot ladies.
“Wull on mek me tell dem how mi grow fi a minute/ Get ****y fast neva slow fi a minute/ Suit out to di shoes mout’ mi nuh gimmick/ Shoot out every tools out mi a bring it/ Get di food doh buy a new house every minute/ Have a few house inna di pool house mi ah dig it/ She ready fi do it all, yeh mi trick it/ If yuh hear she lick di ball ano cricket,” he spits.
The horns featured in the riff of the Dunwell produced hit come to life as members of a marching band clad in bright red on the field surrounding the ‘Leader” deejay as he lays bars across the driving beat.
Continuing on his “winning streak”, this latest video is set to rise to the top of streaming charts, possibly outperforming “Grandfather,” which was viewed almost as many times as the Beenie/ Bounty Verzuz Battle after its premiere in May.

According to an LAPD news release, the suspects include two teenagers and three adults, the latter of whom were identified as Corey Walker, 19, Jaquan Murphy, 21, and Keandre D. Rodgers, 18.

No other details were released as both investigations are ongoing.
Pop Smoke, whose birth name was Bashar Jackson, was gunned down at a temporary rental home in the Hollywood Hills while visiting Los Angeles. The 20-year-old Brooklyn native was the victim of an armed robbery, per the LAPD.
JA Outlaw is banking on the success of his latest single, ShowLoyalty.
“I wrote Show Loyalty because loyalty is a lifestyle not just a word. It’s easy to say ‘Yow, I’m real!’ but actions speak louder than words. Time will reveal all,” said JA Outlaw.
The single, Show Loyalty will be the first single to be released from his upcoming EP. Produced by Brilli Production, Show Loyalty is now available on all digital platforms.
JA Outlaw is also generating a huge buzz with Life Nice, released on the Dengue rhythm, alongside heavyweight stars such as Alkaline, Intence, and Jahvillani. The rhythm project is produced by Countree Hype Music.
“I just dropped both the visuals for these songs and they’re doing great. I also have some features with Fantan Mojah and many more songs. I also dropped a video for my song, Prolific, off the Creation rhythm with Brilli Production and Gold and Goals Production out of New York,” he said.
JA Outlaw is working with production houses such as Roehampton Production out of New York City, and Brilli Production to complete the tracks to his debut EP.
“Since 2011 when I released my first single Senorita on YouTube, produced by Zeej Sterling, I have been working hard, and my music has been out professionally on YouTube, but now, 2020 is the year of discovery,” he said.
Born Andrew Meeks from Mitchell Town, Clarendon, he started doing music when he moved to Kingston at 14 years old. He attended Tarrant High school and once he graduated, he began visiting studios all over the Corporate Area to hone his craft.
“Well my mother and father are both great singers in their respective churches. So from a young age I was singing in church on the choir, so it’s in the blood. My uncle was a local DJ but never got to do it professionally, but he inspired me to follow my dream,” he said.
JA Outlaw is a professional songwriter and he has penned many songs for other artistes in the business.
“All of my songs are written by me. When I’m in the studio working, I’m in my element, in my zone…music is my life, my passion, my love,” he said.
The Smiths sat down for a special episode of ‘Red Table Talk.’
As promised, Jada Pinkett Smith brought herself to the infamous red table but she wasn’t alone. Will Smith joined his wife to address August Alsina’s claims in a special mini-episode of Red Table Talk that premiered on Friday (July 10).
Jada confirmed that she was once in a relationship with the 27-year-old singer while “separated” from Will. According to Jada, things with Alsina started out as a platonic friendship before turning into something more.
“As time went on, I got into a different kind of entanglement with August,” she admitted.
The actress went on to clarify that Will never August “permission” to date her. “The only person that can give permission in that particular circumstance is myself,” she said. “I could see how he would perceive it as ‘permission’ because we were separated amicably and I think he also wanted to make it clear that he’s not a home wrecker — which he’s not.
“I was in a lot of pain. I was broken. I definitely realized that you can’t find happiness outside of yourself, and luckily enough, you and I were going through a process of healing in a much different manner,” Jada told Will. “I would definitely say we did everything we could to get away from each other only to realize that that wasn’t possible.”
Later in the talk, Will asked Jada what she was looking for in August. “I just wanted to feel good,” she said. “And it was really a joy just to heal somebody.”
The couple, who have been together for 25 years, also revealed their relationship mantra: “We ride together. We die together. Bad marriage for life.”
Dancehall hitmaker Stylo G adds CPL legend Chris Gayle to his impressive list of remix collaborators.
If there’s anything Stylo G has mastered in his short time on the scene, it’s unique, magnetic riddims and star power remixes. The newcomer has secured celebrity medleys with industry heavy-hitters Vybz Kartel & Nicki Minaj on 2018’s “Mmhmm” and Sean Paul & Spice on the party anthem “Dumplin.” He recently turned his sights to the sporting arena for some legendary talent to amp up his pre-summer smash “Too Hot,” originally released back in April. The remix features none other than former West Indies Cricket Captain Chris Gayle, who takes a swing at his first record after an impressive T20 career. The visuals combine sultry neon lit scenes with sunny, outdoor party vibes, plus an all female cricket match with the “six machine” sportsman as the watchful umpire.
Playing up his longtime moniker, “Universe Boss” the former batsman drops some serious bars, bowling us over with some clever punchlines on his extravagant, hard-hitting lifestyle: Ah di millionaire laugh/ Chris Gayle, di Universe Boss/ Man hotta dan a pepper inna pot/ Stylo time fi shoot di verse fast/ Nah stop ah four, mi ah slap dem fi six/ Mi nuh waste time check di watch pon mi wrist/ Deh pon di road like tyre, ova di worl’ man hot like fire/ Mi ah get gyal long before cricket, she book it, nuh miss it, first class ticket/ She see mi style an mi neva haffi trick it/ Di same night mi haffi bowl out di wicket..” he spits.
Stylo delivers with his usual grit and genius, stunting like the remix boss that he’s proven to be time after time. There’s no doubt among fans that this one will steal the season, batting away the competition as it climbs the charts.
Eminem says he has no issues with Diddy’s Revolt and hopes to work with them following their “F**k You Too” slight in response to his disrespectful leaked verse.
Last weekend, the original verse that Eminem recorded for his 2019 song with Conway “Bang” leaked online. In the verse, Eminem, who was not a fan of Revolt at the time, said: “f**k Revolt,” which led to them returning the insult. “Yeah, shout to Puffy Combs, but f**k Revolt,” Em raps. “Y’all are like a f**ked up remote (Ha-ha)/Now I get it why our button’s broke/’Cause you press him but he don’t do nothing though (D**n it)/’ Specially when it comes to punches thrown.”
Revolt later responded with an Instagram post saying, “F**k You Too Eminem,” with their name signed to the closing salutation. While some fans thought it was petty seeing as it was in response to an old verse that the rapper never actually used, others thought that in any case, this is not the time for this beef. Revolt implied that as well, when they captioned their post, “Now back to our movement” with a black fist emoji. Apparently, among the slew of people who agree is Slim Shady himself.
Em took to social media to respond to the slight in a lengthy post acknowledging his wrongs. “I agree with Revolt,” he wrote. “This is an unnecessary distraction. I never meant for that verse to be heard, I was heated in the moment and thought better of it and decided to pull it back. Stuff that I never intended to release continues to leak from the huge WeTransfer hack. I don’t have any issues with Revolt. I’d actually welcome the opportunity to work with them on some positive things and turn this in a different direction.”
In the leaked verse, Eminem is also heard taking shots at Joe Budden, but surprisingly, the podcaster was not at all upset. He tweeted, “Joe loves everybody” after the verse went viral online. Also, while discussing it on The Joe Budden Podcast, he said that he does not get offended by old verses and implied that he has reason to be certain that no one is really feeding into that energy, including Eminem.
It looks like Joe was right. Eminem is definitely not on that right now, but we have to respect him for coming forward and showing accountability with his statement while urging us to refocus on the larger issues at hand today. If Em’s original verses continue to leak like this, he might be releasing these statements more frequently. Perhaps the rapper ought to save the template.
