Dancehall superstar Masicka delivered a stellar performance at the recent ‘Sparks After Dark’ at the Aqueducts of Rose Hall in Montego Bay, St James recently.
Dressed in a loose-fitting white shirt, tight black leather jeans and white sneakers, he wowed the enthusiastic audience with a medley of songs such as “They Don’t Know,” “Leader,” “I Wish,” “Pack a Matches” and “20 Matic”.
“All who know dem have money inna dem pocket, all who know dem have money inna dem purse?” Masicka asked, before he did an energetic ‘Top Form’.
He segued into another song with a smooth intro.
“Mi have a flight fi ketch and mi have to hold a vibes with oonu first , all who know dem never sell out inna life yet, wah mi a talk bout?” he said, before performing the popular ‘Changes’.
The crowd sang along to ‘Outta Order’, and “Image”, loving every minute of his 12 minute performance. Other hit songs followed in quick order such as Like Gold and Blessing as he serenaded the females who took out their phones and recorded him as he performed, and even posted themselves on Snapchat singing to his songs.
Masicka is known for his heavy-hitting punchlines and lyrics which are equally introspective and biting as he explores topics such as trigger-pulling, transnational crime, inspirational stories, and reflections on his childhood on reverb-drenched trap dancehall harmonies. Masicka performed alongside Javo Don and Jahshii at the event.
“Masicka’s dynamic stage presence and powerful tracks delivered an unforgettable experience,” Nicholas McInnis, director of the Sybaritic Entertainment Group Ltd, said.
Originally from Portmore in St Catherine, Masicka, given name Javaun Fearon, has been churning out hits over the past decade.

The Sybaritic Weekend also featured events such as Tides and Tanlines, and Diamond Dreamz which featured international soca star Destra Garcia and international superstar Akon.
