Valiant and Shenseea's My Turn tops early dancehall buzz

Valiant and Shenseea gave Rvssian’s Island Villa Riddim the kind of opening blast that turns a juggling into a summer talking point. My Turn landed as the lead single from Tarik Rvssian Johnston’s eight-track Head Concussion Records project, and the pairing felt engineered for quick spread across dancehall, from beach parties to street rotation to repost-ready clips.

The timing helped. The instrumental version of Island Villa Riddim was released on May 26, 2026, and My Turn followed into circulation in late May, so by the time the June 9 chatter picked up, the record was already moving as an active release rather than a fresh announcement. That early runway matters in dancehall, where the songs that catch first often become the ones selectors keep pulling back into the mix.

What gives My Turn its edge is the chemistry between two names with real pull in different corners of the market. Kaboom Magazine described it as the first-ever collaboration between Valiant and Shenseea, and that alone made it a marked moment for fans tracking who is linking up with whom on the new wave. Valiant brings the momentum of one of the scene’s most visible younger voices, while Shenseea adds the crossover polish and reach that can carry a track well beyond Jamaica’s core audience.

Rvssian knows exactly how to frame that kind of release. Island Villa Riddim is not being treated like a one-off single drop. It is a full juggling built around a broader summer run, with songs attached from Shenseea, Tatik, Valiant, Rhell Trouble, Jae, Don Amaris, Adel Garvin, TK Vybz and LMB Peleskii. That lineup gives My Turn more weight, because the track is serving as the gateway into a larger package rather than standing alone.

The rollout has already shown real traction online. The official My Turn video on YouTube cleared more than 1.2 million views in about 10 days, a strong sign that the combination of Valiant, Shenseea and Rvssian is hitting the exact lane it was built for. Head Concussion Records, the label tied to Rvssian’s YouTube rollout, has packaged the project in a way that favors streaming, video plays and DJ pickup at the same time.

That is why My Turn reads as more than just another new dancehall cut. It is the sort of record that can define a run, and with Island Villa Riddim already in motion, it has the shape of a summer scene marker rather than a passing drop.
