Epic recording Artist, Kat Dahlia, is featured on Mash It Up. Co-produced by Black Lion & The Wizard, "this song's piano-heavy production forms a pitch-perfect platform for dancehall's over-the-top braggadocio."[2] The music video for "MASH IT UP" was filmed in "the gritty dancehall of Jamaica" and premiered on The Fader November 12, 2014.
