King Mas Releases "Rasta Evolution" And "Ocean Of Emotion"

(Nature's Way Ent.) – Nature's Way Entertainment has recently added to its roster of artists the multi-talented Glenford Prospere, p/k/a King Mas, a singer/songwriter/musician/performer. King Mas' debut on the Nature's Way Entertainment label is an eight (8) track EP entitled Lyrics – Love & Liberation that is slated for release this July.

This double-single release of "Rasta Evolution" and "Ocean Of Emotion" serves as a taste of what is to come on the EP, and to introduce the collaboration between King Mas and Nature's Way Entertainment.

These two singles are set to take you around the world with their universal appeal, mixing up roots, culture, reality and lovers rock with highly intuitive lyrics and melodies on authentic reggae beats. The person responsible for production is the hard-working Garfield Cowan, who has a vision to navigate King Mas' mission as an artist to deliver through music, lyrics, love and liberation.  

King Mas is the product of diverse musical genres. He is a native of Boston, Massachusetts, born to Caribbean parents. His father, Supreme, is the legendary calypso monarch from the island of Montserrat, and his mother is from Clarendon, Jamaica. She nurtured and encouraged the young King to perform with the church band, which played gospel music in mainly reggae and calypso styles.

It was this initial exposure, the encores that were often demanded, and his exposure to R&B music that added fuel to the inborn musical fire of King. To date, King Mas has performed in and outside the U.S. , from Norway to South Africa, touching Lebanon in between. 

He has previously released several singles, including his hit song "One Wish." Now, "Rasta Evolution" and "Ocean Of Emotion" will leave you craving for more King Mas, and he can surely deliver with more songs waiting in the wings.
