    The difference is that Masicka found his niche in conscious / reality type music, and he will give us other type every now and then. That first body of work, Masicka dropped, placed him far ahead of Aidonia and his competition. It's unfair to compare him to that lazy artist.

If you ever listen to Socrates, First Class and Moonwalk you couldn't say the man body a work is sub par. Now the man drop bottles. The next one on the Chakka riddim tough to.

    Wiz made an excellent point. Aidonia can still put out music like Moonwalk to connect with the younger fans but if he is to have any real legacy in the dancehall space then he also needs to start putting out more “conscious” content.

      Bredda made some very valid points. Growth is important and Aidonia still a medz some small things. Poppin bottles and Dubai living...it lame bro. The way Masicka has evolved is product of hard work and dedication. Aidonia is probably the more talented of the two but clearly Masicka works harder and hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.

  • @andieslive669

    Love, Honor and Respect to Aidonia 1000%. However, he is in the Music Business for twenty years and he should be on the level like a Busy Signal, Popcaan, Tommy Lee Sparta, Masicka, Tee Jay, Spice, Shenseea, Skillibeng.

    Based on this conversation, the 17:11 difference between Wiz & Biggs is that Wiz is that friend that is not going to facilitate your fuckery excuse as to why you are not excelling or find an excuse for you,to make you feel ok about where you are. Biggs on the other hand is the person who will celebrate you in your fuckery, instead of being honest with you and tell you like it is, so you can understand where you are vs where you need to be.

His strategy is maybe different and thats ok too masicka is still a new artist without 10 solid years burst in the game. Cant compare the 2 although we kno masicka has always been a big fan of aidonia and is doing it now. Aidonia has grown as an artist cus he is now one of best stage performer hands down right now which we couldn't say that 10 years ago and we cant even say so for masicka. They both doing there thing in their own way big up both artist

The topics and content of his music doesn't resonate with me now I'm a grown man. This was the guy who I looked up to in from 2007. I was a young juvenile dem time deh. A hot head just like Aidonia. All when him and Sicka did ah clash I was rooting for him. But is disappointment after disappointment. His recent project is a total waste of time.

    Donia was my artiste too, every single and when he had drop an EP with a bag of gal chune. For the last few years the man only a drop ABC chunes and fall right off "to me" as well. We all have our opinions and expectations which shapes how we feel. There was obviously reasons why I was a big fan and also a reason why I am now not so much. still beat a few but.....meh. If it works for you then it works for you. Bless!!
