The upcoming "Grand Rising EP" boasts 11 tracks, featuring collaborations with Squash, Armanii, Byron Messia, and "Haunted" with Dexta Daps, showcasing a collective drive to redefine dancehall’s boundaries.

With over 35 million views on his smash hit "V6" and more than 403K YouTube subscribers, Malie Donn is one of today’s most trending young dancehall artists. Billboard’s Kyle Denis described "V6" as a modern hit making "major waves around the globe."

“Don Julio” builds on this momentum, channeling Malie’s signature confidence and flair while highlighting the lavish lifestyle and experiences that have accompanied his rise to fame.
