VALIANT RELEASES NEW EP “PROVE THEM WRONG”
(Toronto, ON- May 23rd, 2025) Jamaica’s Rising Star Continues His Global Ascent with a Dynamic 11-Track Project Featuring 450, Fridayy & Tommy Lee Sparta
Valiant, one of the most electrifying new voices in dancehall, has officially released his long-awaited EP, Prove Them Wrong, a powerful, melody-rich project that delivers both a celebration of Jamaican culture and a message to his doubters. Executive produced by Grammy Award-winning KVRIM and DJ Mac, the project features a dynamic mix of sounds that reflect Valiant’s signature style and bold artistic evolution.
Leading the charge is ‘Ugly’ the penultimate release from the EP and a standout track produced by DJ Mac, the hit-maker behind viral anthems like “Anansi.” Known for his ability to craft genre-pushing riddims, Mac injects ‘Ugly’ with the bouncy, infectious energy that first put Valiant on the map. The track has already made a major impact online, amassing over 2M+ views on TikTok and fueling a viral trend around humorous dislikes.
Following a breakthrough year and a headline-making run across the U.S, Valiant is proving why he’s the people’s artist. ‘Prove Them Wrong’ is a bold statement of intent, combining heartfelt storytelling, vibrant production, and Valiant’s unmistakable voice across 11 genre-blending tracks.
From the introspective anthem ‘Prove Them Wrong’ featuring 450 to the emotionally charged ‘Fallen Soldiers’ and high-energy collaborations like ‘Rapid Up’ with Tommy Lee Sparta and ‘Advantage’ featuring global star Fridayy, the EP showcases Valiant’s versatility and magnetic presence.
About Valiant:
Born Raheem Bowes in St. Andrew, Jamaica, Valiant has quickly risen through the ranks with viral hits, raw performances, and a new-wave sound that is challenging global perceptions of dancehall. Already being hailed as a leader of dancehall’s new generation, he draws from icons like Vybz Kartel, Beres Hammond, and Bob Marley while carving out his own lane with tracks that fuse authenticity with mass appeal.
His U.S. performances in late 2023 marked a major turning point, with fans and critics alike taking notice. “‘Mad Out’ gave me a piece of the international world that put me on a new level,” he says. Now, Valiant is doubling down on his mission to shift the narrative — and Prove Them Wrong is his boldest chapter yet.
As the EP drops, Valiant is also making waves across the UK, with major live appearances scheduled at City Splash and Recessland, and a packed calendar of promo activity that’s further cementing his global rise.
