KINGSTON, Jamaica — Dancehall artiste eNGee Dadon has been creating more momentum with the tracks Crocodile Masicka and Is Masicka A Nanny?.
The entertainer, who was formerly known as Pickney, explained that these songs are social commentary based on observations in the industry.
“Crocodile Masicka” came from a review on the present Dancehall situation. The fans [have] been talking about Masicka’s sidekick who got whipped by Devin Di Doctor and Masicka didn’t defend his bro — that was the spark. I didn’t jump in to throw shade, I just analysed the conversation through music. Dancehall is commentary, so I put the narrative in melody form. It’s social reflection mixed with lyrical observation. The crocodile in the story represent fear and pride hiding behind silence,” eNGee Dadon said.
Crocodile Masicka was released on August 9 and has since earned thousands of streams. The other release made its debut at the beginning of October, and has upped the ante on discourse among music fans and analysts.
Reiterating that there is no bad blood between him and Masicka, the deejay anticipates that listeners will be able to appreciate music artistry and its link between current happenings.
“My hope is that Crocodile Masicka open people eyes to how powerful Dancehall still is when it mirror the culture. I want it to show that you can address current issues without losing creativity. If it sparks more artistes to go lyrical again, mission complete. And if it cross over to international audience, even better—because the world love truth told with rhythm,” he explained.
As for the second track, eNGee Dadon noted that some listeners have found the title bold, while some have found humour and others appreciate the literary devices in the lyrics.
“That one came straight from curiosity and cultural debate. Everybody was calling themselves GOATs (greatest of all time) in dancehall, and mi just flip it. If the goat is a female, is the goat a nanny? It’s satire mixed with wordplay. The title itself is a question — not an insult, but a mirror to how titles and ego move in the game. It’s dancehall theatre; intelligent provocation with humour,” he explained.
Amidst the new releases, eNGee Dadon is also celebrating his second place ranking on the Brando Music Review Show’s weekly chart for the track Dancehall Jealousy.
“It’s a blessing and a big acknowledgment of the work I’ve been putting in. Brando Music Review is respected, so being number two shows that independent artistes like me can move the space without major label push. It’s fuel for the fire. I appreciate the recognition but I’m still aiming for that number one spot. It also validate the fans who been supporting eNGee Dadon from day one,” he said.
The deejay is currently pushing multiple projects under New Generation Music Entertainment including: Venus Inna Vans, Christian Girl Gone, and Thanks You.
