Dancehall artiste Masicka demonstrates his maturity and depth on latest project, The Tyler and Puffy Saga Part 1 & 2.

The track, complete with imagery and vivid language, paints a picture of two friends who grew up together and the twists and turns of their lives take.

“I realised I had to do something out of the box. I had to come with something that reflects my kind of writing style and because it is in part, based on a true story. I had to make the language vivid so that the listener can envision it,” the 23-year-old told the Jamaica Observer.

“I thought to myself what can I do without being run-of-the-mill? Where I can exercise my talent and be creative? So I took the time out to come up with the concept of the story. I sat down and applied some descriptive writing… my type of some is not the typical 1-2-3 thing….I like to have a chorus with melodies, utilise metaphors and just bring out the art in the music,” he continued.

First released in late 2014, the Tyler and Puffy Saga’s response was not was was anticipated. However in July, his management team decided to add visuals.

“In the first week, we had more than 20,000 views on YouTube. The amount a call we get from established people in dancehall is like wow… People like Christopher Martin a call me and say him rate the lyrics of Tyler and Puffy and want we do something in the studio… It’s a great feeling.”

Currently signed to the Corey Todd-owned Take Ova Records, his primary concern at this time is building a career.

“I just have to continue to believe it what I do and produce quality music, work with established producers and learn from the past. Buss nuh worry me. As long as I keep working and building a legacy, the buss must come,” he said.

Masicka, whose given name is Javaun Fearon, is now setting his sights on releasing part three to the Tyler and Puffy Saga.

“We’re gonna drop that after the summer and release a full video which will be like a movie. We want it done proper so we putting a lot of thought into this, not rushing it taking time and making sure it done right,” he said.

Masicka created headlines last year after he walked away from the Subkonshus group, headed by fellow artiste Konshens. He claims to have moved on from that situation the wiser.

“It was a learning process and stepping stone for me and it teach me a lot. One of the big things is that not everybody loyal. I want to walk the journey by myself and if I fail… at least I tried.
