Dancehall powerhouse Masicka is making a statement of longevity with his highly anticipated third studio album, Forever Reign, which made an immediate impact by debuting at No. 1 on the U.S. iTunes Reggae Albums chart.

The 17-track project marks his second album under Def Jam Recordings and third studio effort in five years. It features Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley on the opening track “1 Psalm,” Blaqbonez on “G Wagon,” and Kraff on “Honor Roll,” with the latter earning high praise from early listeners as one of the album’s surprise collaborations and standouts.

Lila Iké completes the guest lineup on the closing track “Parables,” while other notable songs include “AK Fire,” “Pointless,” “Shakazulu,” which samples 50 Cent, “Slip and Slide,” “Boasty,” “Cross the Waters” and “Breaking Chain.”

Production is equally stacked, with contributions from longtime collaborator Mario “Dunw3ll” Dunwell, acclaimed Brooklyn-based producer Dre Skull, Stephen “Di Genius” McGregor, Supa Dups, Slybad Musiq, Atto “Attomatic” Wallace and Dan Sky, among others.

We took a dive across the internet to see how fans are reacting to the project, and the early conversation has been filled with praise for Masicka’s flows, delivery, collaborations and lyrical approach.

“Flow, delivery unexpected but pleasantly surprised. The thugs and ravers will appreciate,” one listener wrote about “Honor Roll,” while another highlighted Masicka and Jr. Gong going back and forth on the final verse of “1 Psalm.”

“Cross the Waters” also sparked reactions, with fans already finishing the final verse themselves and one listener jokingly recalling the criticism that Masicka has “one flow” before pointing to the range displayed across the album.

For some listeners, Forever Reign also completes an impressive three-album run for the deejay. As one fan simply put it: “Masicka drop a hat-trick wid dem 3 album ya.”
