Every summer, I look forward to hearing what dancehall record will be the song of the summer. While there might be a few songs in rotation, I would like to say that Talibans by Bryon Messia will be the song of the summer. The rising Saint Kittian artist is my latest obsession. His scorching hot single, “Talibans,” has amassed over 17 million views and counting on YouTube alone, and is #1 in 12 countries on Apple Music. The impact of “Talibans,” reaches far beyond its impressive view count. The track has garnered significant attention and received co-signs from some of the biggest names in the music industry. Bobby Shmurda, Burna Boy, and Stefflon Don have recognized Bryon Messia’s immense talent, lending their support to this rising talent.
On May 26, Messia debuted a new banger titled “90Z” via Ztekk/Simple Stupid/Geffen Records. Directed by Josiah Persad, The music video for the track takes place in Miami surrounded by beautiful women in bathing suits showing off their best dance moves. The highly energetic record is representative of the parties in Jamaica where dancehall music originated.
With his distinctive sound, raw talent, and unwavering passion, Byron Messia has firmly established himself as an artist to watch, poised to ascend to great heights and reshape the musical landscape.
