Dancehall hitmaker, Masicka has repurposed his popular hardcore track, 20 Matic into a dubplate supporting JLP Senator Delano Seiveright, in his bid to become the party’s representative for St Andrew North Central in the next general election.
A video being circulated across social media, features the sound of Masicka’s 20 Matic dub accompanied by footage of Seiveright interacting with constituents and the outgoing MP Karl Samuda as they tour sections of the constituency.
The dub, while lauding other JLP stakeholders of the constituency, endorses Seiveright’s bid for representation in the upcoming elections, with the dancehall hitmaker singing in part, “whole country a spark, empty barrel a talk… send fi the boss fass… bag a support the boss nuh stop send we…everthing up, from yuh mek the entry…opportunity that fi plenty.
The dub has received mixed reactions from social media, while some endorse the move, many question the double standard within the political landscape about dancehall music and its influence on society, with the genre often receiving heavy criticism from Government for what they consider its contribution to the breakdown of the moral fabric of the country.
Released in June 2024, 20 Matic was produced by DunW3ll. To date, the popular track has amassed over 12 million views on the global video-sharing platform, YouTube.
