After dominating reggae and dancehall conversations throughout April, Masicka has now added another international award recognition to his growing list of achievements. The deejay secured the Best EP Recording award for Her Name is Love at the 43rd annual International Reggae and World Music Awards (IRAWMA) held on Sunday, May 17th in South Florida, extending a breakout run that recently saw “Slip and Slide” surge on the Shazam Global Reggae/Dancehall rankings.
The award arrives on the heels of one of Masicka’s strongest months in recent memory. Throughout April, tracks including “Slip and Slide,” “Boasty,” and “Ting Loud” generated significant online buzz, streaming traction, and fan engagement across social media platforms. “Slip and Slide” in particular became a standout record for the artiste, climbing to No. 3 on the Shazam Global Reggae/Dancehall chart while helping to fuel renewed conversations around his growing international reach.
Meanwhile, Her Name is Love has continued to receive praise from fans and industry observers for showcasing another side of the artiste’s creativity. The project blended dancehall energy with melodic storytelling and crossover appeal, helping Masicka strengthen his position as one of the genre’s most consistent hitmakers. The IRAWMA win now places him among a list of major winners this year that included Vybz Kartel, Spice and Shenseea.
As clips, lyrics, and chart updates from his recent releases continue circulating online, many fans are now viewing 2026 as another defining chapter in Masicka’s career. With momentum building internationally and his catalogue continuing to resonate both locally and abroad, the deejay appears firmly locked into one of the hottest runs in dancehall music right now.
