Crown

Mitymaose - Pretty Eyes feat. King MAS

"...This bang-up-to-date vibe continues on Crush. If ever a track was fit for the UK YouTube channel GRM Daily, it’s this. King MAS displays his truly masterful writing and production skills with this afrobeat RnB banger. Hi-hats and cymbals tremble off the beat; guitars and a xylophone frantically manoeuvre throughout; what sounds like a mizmar lilts between the chorus vocals, transporting you to north Africa, while the sparse bassline completes the afrobeat RnB vibe...."

King MAS - Crush (Dugud Prod.)

"..With Kora and Griot, Crown immerses us in African Royalty from the first notes. The third studio album of Boston-born artist King Mas is the first full-length release by his label Bantu Nation Movement, a collective he describes as consisting of "creative individuals and spiritual beings who represent the "Bantu" diaspora of the African continent and all of the various manifestations of our culture around the globe"."

"...softer and love-soaked tones are struck, such as Queen (featuring Pupa Freddy's daughter Zosia McGregor)..."

King MAS - Queen Feat. Zosia McGregor

"...Take the Minstrel Interlude, an 80s soul throwback intertwined with more traditional afrobeat. It’s laced with delicious harmonies, a perfectly balanced brass section but with north African djembe-style drums gently tapping in the background. Then there’s Da Da Da, which puts you in mind of the 90s breed of RnB singers like Joe and Ginuwine. Unlike Joe, musically King MAS has produced something groundbreaking – like the Timbaland-produced Ginuwine but with more substance. Another stand out track is Queen featuring the soulful vocals of Zosia McGregor. Taking the listener back to the lover’s rock era of reggae, King MAS uses the track to display his remarkable vocal ability, switching between a delicious falsetto and gorgeous tenor effortlessly....."

Grammy award-winning songwriter, vocalist & guitarist King Mas is a musical amalgamation of culture and art. A voice that reverberates thought-provoking messages, King Mas is a trailblazer for the conscious reggae fusion movement. Dubbed the “Musical Obeah Man”, The King has inherited an ancestral music tradition that spans generations. A native of Boston, Massachusetts, King Mas was born to culturally grounded Caribbean parents. His father Supreme, is a legendary calypso monarch from the island of Montserrat, and his mother a Clarendon born Jamaican who grew up during the formative years of reggae music. This is not to mention, an immensely talented lineage that is comprised of musicians and songwriters including Everton “Reality” Weeks, who wrote the world-renowned calypso hit “Hot, Hot, Hot”.

With a strong passion for music, King Mas drew inspiration from isolation as an epilepsy survivor. Facing the reality of a potentially life ending condition, King Mas would find solace in song. With Walkman in hand, he would tune into the arrangements of his favorite artists and impersonate their musical style and delivery. From Buju to Busta, to Beres and, Brian McKnight, The King immersed himself in varied types of music. It was this experience that shaped his existence as an exceptional artiste with an international following. 

King Mas acknowledges his divine purpose for living, also known as Nkrabea. Drawing from African spirituality, The King crafts distinctive words and sound to release life-altering energy, aiding mankind in realizing itself. With songs like, “Walk Like A Champion” and “Reflection”, King Mas chooses to heal rather than simply entertain. It is through this calling that he has earned the moniker “Musical Obeah Man”, paying homage to his Afro-Caribbean roots. 

To date, King Mas has performed all over the United States and the four corners of the world. From Lebanon to Lintz, to the Limpopo River, The King has electrified audiences with his unique vocal style, often delivering encore performances. In 2012, he independently released his debut album, “One Wish”. Now, “Rasta Evolution” released under Nature's Way Ent. contained several significant hits. The "Crown" album, executive produced by his brother "Mitymaose" will mark another paradigm shifting audio offering from the King.
