Securing spots on the latest iteration of the top five trending list are Dancehall artistes Jamal, Armani, Skippa, RajaWild, Squash, and Brysco. This list is based on the top five trending songs on YouTube for Jamaica at the moment.
Jamal kicks off this top-five list with his single Never Fear. The track takes the #5 spot on the list following its release on April 21.
The St. James deejay continues to make the controversial slang ‘dunce’ a part of his persona and utilises the phrase several times as he proclaims both his fierceness and fearlessness. The Hugo Boss Records-produced track has so far acquired more than 566,000 views and 37,000 likes since its release.
After both being featured on Rvssian‘s Dutty Money riddim, Dancehall artistes RajahWild and Brysco have teamed up for their first collab, MUK. This Jiggy D Entertainment-produced track currently occupies the #4 spot on trending and incorporates a 70s-inspired disco beat that was created by SeanGod Music and Jiggy D.
MUK‘s Lagikz Supreme-directed music video also features 70s influences and has acquired over 654,000 views and 33,000 likes since its premiere on April 22.
