This new revelation makes sense given that AKA named the album Mass Country as a wordplay for Maskandi, and Sjava's unique sound would have fitted perfectly.

Aside from the wordplay, ZAlebs reported that Mega wanted the album to take over the nation. The two artists would have taken it to new heights, given that they are the most nominated musicians at the 2023 Metro FM Music Awards.

Zadok revealed the initial plan for Mass Country was for AKA and Sjava to release it as a collaborative album.

“Funny enough, the initial concept of this project, there was a conversation about a joint project between AKA and Sjava because of the Maskandi influence that Kiernan wanted to have in the Mass Country. Obviously, that didn’t work, but in the end, we managed to still get Sjava on the track.”
