Masicka – Me Seh Life
Produced by Fresh Fame Records
Get it on iTunes

Playing reminiscent of an I-Octane-esque lyrical and vocal delivery, the piano-laced single doesn't disappoint. Looking for a "better day", Masicka reflects on life's many struggles and confesses that all he wants is to work hard for his own and make the best decisions along the way. On the hook he sings "Dem a draw fi gun/ dem a reach fi knife/ Selassie I son/ me seh life/ dem a seh shootout and bleach a night/ we want a better day….eh". Don't be surprised when you hear persons using this single as a personal means of motivation.

Continuing his 2013 takeover, Mavado is making it clear to everyone that hating on his career doesn't even phase him right now…his mission is clear; not be limited by the sky, but making it just the beginning.

Continuing his dominance from behind bars, Vybz Kartel opens the song deejaying "All a who rape likkle pickney fi dead/ all a who shoot likkle pickney fi dead/ all a who hurt likkle pickney fi dead/ mi nuh know a wah fly up inna dem man ya head", as Gaza Slim flexes her vocal strength with her rendition of the Whitney Hounston-popularized 1986 hit single 'Greatest Love of All' on the hook and second verse. As the rise of child abuse/rape/murder/kidnapping lingers the timing of this single couldn't be any better.
