Ijah Maakie Hitting The Ground Running With ‘The Journey’ EP

Reggae artiste Ijah Maakie is looking forward to big things from his latest, EP, titled The Journey, produced by the Herb Pocket Production Label.

Packed into 6 heavy hitting tracks are topics ranging from social issues to a sneak peek into the artiste’s own life.

“It’s a mixture of Reggae crossed over with Hip Hop and Dancehall. The Reggae sound is most prominent on the tracks,” the artiste explained.

The artiste said prior to the EP’s release, a music video for the track It’s A Shame was released on April 29, 2020 and the project was well-received.

“The reception has been nothing but wonderful. I have not gotten one bad comment on any of the tracks,” the artiste expressed.

Ijah Maakie has been growing into his own as a standout artiste for the past few years, promoting positive and useful messages through his music.

“Anyone who listens to my music will immediately identify the difference in lyrical content; a deep tone of voice which delivers with aggression while still being soothing and appealing to the ears and the songs are very relatable. The punch lines are very catchy and worded differently from the norm, which compels you to dig deep into your thoughts”

Going forward Ijah Maakie said he has major plans to not only make an impact on the music scene, but in the wider society as well.

“My aspiration is to be well established in the music business. When the name Ijah Maakie is uttered, no one should have to ask who that is, especially in Jamaica. I also want to get rich because I want to help the poor in every possible way, with back to school, setting up businesses, providing medication and/or medical equipment, proper housing, anything to improve human living conditions,” he elaborated.

Coming up next for the artiste is a new track titled “Go Harder” which will be produced by Herb Pocket Production. The music video for the single will also follow soon after its release.

The Journey is available for purchase and streaming on major digital platforms online.
