Dancehall artiste Valiant and DJ Mac’s ‘Gwaan Suh’ grace the top ten on YouTube’s top 10 list.

Twenty-two days after the music video was released on YouTube, it has already amassed 1,078,772 million views and shows no sign of slowing down.

The song, produced by DJ Mac Music and OuttaDoorRecords, marks another hit between the proclaimed “Dunce Bat” and Rvsssian in 2024.

The simple chorus, with Valiant’s whimsical cadence on an infectious, bass-heavy beat, gives off playful vibes in an otherwise serious dancehall landscape.

The song’s current popularity and associated dance trend on TikTok will hopefully help boost it to the number one spot.
