Aidonia Releases ‘Occupied Mind’ Project, Takes Break From Music For Fatherhood

Dancehall star Aidonia has announced that he will be taking a hiatus from recording music for a few months to focus on family and the birth of his soon-to-be-born child, but not before dropping off a new compilation titled, Occupied Mind.

“I will be taking a break from recording music over the next couple of months. I just want to give the people something they can vibe to because the birth of my son is approaching, and I am going to take some time to focus on that and my family,” he said in a release.

Released on December 1, Occupied Mind is a 23-track collection compiled in the aftermath of the passing of Aidonia’s son Khalif Lawrence, who died last December following a three-year battle with cancer.

Aidonia hopes that the project will serve as something to keep the fans’ appetite for new music filled.

“This is not an album; the official album ah forward next year. This is just a project, not a mixtape, more like a compilation of some songs we recorded this year. You know what we were going through, so we just occupied our minds with music. It’s basically that; we are just releasing some songs,” he explained.

Executively produced on the Banger House Music Group imprint, the 23-track set features a single collaboration with campmate Govana on the single Sorry 1, while production credits come courtesy of Banger House Music Group, Haunted House, Emudio, Darshan, Cashflow Big Project, and Mill Beatz.
