Valiant & DJ Mac keep the energy high with viral single 'Ugly'

Valiant continues his unstoppable rise in the global dancehall scene with his infectious new single 'Ugly', produced by long-time collaborator and hitmaker DJ Mac. The track arrives as the third release from Valiant’s highly anticipated upcoming EP, 'Prove Them Wrong', set to drop on May 23rd.

True to the high-energy sound that catapulted him to stardom, 'Ugly' leans into a bouncy, hook-heavy production that blends sharp wit with playful delivery. It’s a track that doesn’t take itself too seriously, and fans are loving it. With over 2 million views on TikTok already, 'Ugly' has sparked a viral trend, as users jump on its humorous take on everyday turn-offs and unpopular opinions.

As the penultimate release ahead of the full project, this new drop follows a string of successful singles that have already surpassed 16 million streams. With momentum building, Valiant is expanding his global footprint, having just sat down with Angela Yee in New York and gearing up for a performance on the BBC Radio 1Xtra Live Lounge.

With a 'From The Block' performance also in the works and the 'Prove Them Wrong' EP just around the corner, Valiant is proving, yet again, why he’s one of the most exciting voices in modern dancehall.

Check out the new track below, and keep your eyes peeled for the project.
