Kranium, Jada Kingdom Drop Remixes After Capella Grey Hits Billboard With ‘Gyalis’
Dancehall artists Kranium and Jada Kingdom have released remixes of what some have called the ‘record of the summer’. Bronx-based singer Capella Grey’s new single Gyalis has made its way onto several Billboard charts for its rhythmic acoustics and clever delivery of the Jamaican playboy slang.
Born to Jamaican parents, Grey’s catchy new hit song is currently No. 6 on Billboard’s Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart after three weeks on the chart. It debuted at No. 39 on Billboard’s Rhythmic Airplay chart and No. 43 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. On the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart, it moved from No. 50 to 48 in its second week.
Capella Grey, whose real name is Curtis Anthony Jackson, released the song back in April and which at the time garnered 2 million views in two weeks on YouTube according to Vice Magazine. The 25-year-old, producer/ songwriter/ instrumentalist/ singer and new Capitol Records signee, at the time, was quite eager to remix his quirky party song that’s void of a hook or bridge. The song blends the slowed bassline of Back That Azz Up over Grey’s Jamaican-influenced singsong melody with a hallucinatory feel.
Now the moment has been shared with unofficial remixes from Dancehall artists Kranium and Jada Kingdom.
The certified bachelor, Kranium of course couldn’t have been a better fit to appear on a remix for Gyalis. His version dubbed the ‘Refix’ dropped two weeks ago in July and swiftly took listeners right inside the bedroom for another of his sexacapades. “Grab har hard, grab her hard buss her neckless suck her br—t them breathless, she bounce up pon the top of the …” and he goes on.
Jada teased her remix for Gyalis back in June on her IG and TikTok pages but officially released an audio track earlier this week, and it’s currently trending No. 4 in Jamaica on YouTube.
The Dancehall vixen takes a similar approach in flexing her own ‘gyalis’ appeal in the remix. “After all you not my main man, you just a side piece / Bad gyal nuh mad over boy pickeny. Di ‘mount man weh want me, mi nah deny nuh application,” her verses go.
International artists A Boogie Wit da Hoodie and French Montana have also put their spin on the track.
Grey revealed on The Angie Martinez show last week, that there are official remixes on the way and that he’s working on an official music video.
“For Gyalis tho, for right now, umm..we shooting, pushing out the video. There’s remixes on the way. Boogie went crazy, Kranium went crazy on the verse as well,” he told Martinez. “The rollout about to be pretty interesting.”
“Imma release a couple of remixes..we gonna do it different ways..there’s a reggaeton remix where we gonna change the whole vibe, there’s a couple different ways we gon do it,” he added.
