A refreshing blend of positive vibes and energy, the newest release by the music whizz Maga Hundred, aka Courtney Johnson, ‘SHOES’ brings a unique mix of hip-hop twist against a contemporary dancehall background. Soaked in layers of melody, the song presents an immersive and trippy realm of musicality that leaves a lasting impact on the audience. The passionate outpour in each line of verse aims at instilling the listeners with optimism and self-confidence, and the sheer honesty and authenticity of the lines enable them to form a deeper bond with the artist. What stands out in the song is the universality of the theme, powered by an innovative sound design that testifies to the depth of the singer’s artistic genius.
Having immigrated to the United States at the young age of 10 to the city of Paterson, NJ, Maga Hundred was heavily influenced by the dominant Jamaican culture of the area. As he became a victim of his environment and bad influences, he turned to music as an emotional outlet, until realizing dancehall music, mixed with hip-hop, to be his forte. The New Jersey Dancehall Artist is already making his mark in the industry, having collaborated with artists and groups like Full Hundred and Bobby Konders of Massive B Sound, among others, and has opened for Jamaican megastars such as Sean Paul, Lexus, Elephant Man, Lady Saw, Mavado, and Alkaline. ‘SHOES’, along with the other gems from his musical treasure trove, like ‘Body Like a Dolly’ and ‘Rock Like This’ featuring Fresh Prince, are now available for streaming on platforms like SoundCloud, Spotify, and Apple Music.
