Malie Donn Releases Unfiltered 12-Track EP Leak the Hard Drive, Featuring Jada Kingdom, Byron Messia, Armanii and Govana

Dancehall sensation Malie Donn has unleashed a surprise 12-track EP titled Leak the Hard Drive, giving fans a raw and uncut glimpse into his creative vault. Released on Thursday, July 10, 2025, the project wasn’t born from traditional industry rollouts or hype—but rather from pure demand. “Upon the request of fans and supporters to leak the hard drive, that is where I got the inspiration to name this project,” said longtime producer Dan Sky, who spearheaded the effort alongside Attomatic Records and Antuwang Music.

The EP brings together a dynamic lineup of collaborators, including Jada Kingdom on the sultry Love Existence, Armanii on 9 PM, Byron Messia for Birthday Affairs, and Govana on the feel-good anthem Night is Young. Each track offers a different shade of Malie Donn’s artistry—from romance to reality, party vibes to introspection—highlighting not only his versatility but his evolution as a performer. “This is a representation of hard work, lots of sleepless days and nights in the studios, and it shows different sides of the artiste,” Dan Sky shared.

What makes Leak the Hard Drive stand out isn’t just its star-studded features or catchy hooks—it’s the authenticity. The EP is a collection of unreleased tracks recorded from early 2025 until now, giving fans a rare, behind-the-scenes listen into Malie Donn’s ongoing growth. Known for hits like V6, Hennergy, Dark and Corrupt, and Rum Please, Malie Donn continues to assert his presence as one of dancehall’s most promising and experimental voices.

Dan Sky, who has worked with the deejay for over five years, credits the artiste’s dedication and maturity. “Malie Donn is a hard-working artiste and he has evolved musically,” the producer noted. With a near-decade of experience and credits that include the Vent riddim, Wuff Wuff by Javo Donn, and The Grand Rising EP, Dan Sky’s fingerprints are evident throughout this latest body of work.

While Leak the Hard Drive may not have come with a marketing blitz, its organic rollout and compelling content speak volumes. It’s a bold, fan-fueled release that further cements Malie Donn’s trajectory in the dancehall space—and proves that sometimes, the best projects are the ones that come straight from the hard drive, unfiltered and unapologetic.
