The track follows a strong run for The Impact, which was released in December and later secured the No. 8 spot on Billboard’s 10 Best Caribbean Albums of 2025 list. The project has also amassed more than 79 million global streams to date and debuted at No. 10 on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart.

“Fulla Gyal” leans into vibrant, beat-driven production rooted in island sound, with Armanii delivering playful, confident lyrics over smooth rhythms. The single continues the artist’s blend of traditional dancehall grit and modern hip-hop influence, underscoring the style that has helped position him as one of the genre’s emerging voices.

The release comes as Armanii prepares to launch his official The Impact tour in May. The international run will begin in Canada before moving through the United Kingdom and the United States, and will conclude with a homecoming performance in Jamaica.

Canadian tour dates include stops in Hamilton (May 7), Waterloo (May 8), Vancouver (May 10), London, Ontario (May 14), Toronto (May 15), Ottawa (May 16) and Montreal (May 17). Tickets are available at www.twistedtours.ca.

Armanii has built momentum over the past year with several high-profile performances, including appearances at the Hollywood Palladium for UnitedMasters’ Celebration of Independence, Billboard Hip-Hop/R&B Live 2025, Reggae Fest Brooklyn 2025 and a closing set at Reggae SumFest in 2024.

In 2025, he was named Best Impact Dancehall Artist at the Caribbean Music Awards. Leading up to his album release, his single “U A Gwan” drew coverage from major outlets, further expanding his global reach. This month, Armanii was named Billboard’s inaugural Caribbean Rookie of the Month.

With the deluxe edition of The Impact on the way and an international tour set to roll out this spring, Armanii is continuing his push to carry Jamaican dancehall onto larger stages worldwide.
