Armanii drops 'Tun Up' visual, announces global ‘The Impact’ Tour
Trailblazing Caribbean dancehall artist Armanii has unveiled the official visual for “Tun Up,” one of four new tracks featured on The Impact: PGLA Edition, the newly released deluxe version of his debut album The Impact, out now via UnitedMasters.
Released in March, The Impact: PGLA Edition expands the original project with four additional songs — “New Tingz,” “Tonight,” “X Rated,” and “Tun Up” — further showcasing Armanii’s evolving sound while sharpening themes of desire, ambition and unapologetic self-expression.
The “Tun Up” visualizer embraces a sleek, minimalist concept that mirrors the track’s late-night energy. Opening with close-up shots of a DJ sound system, the video moves in a hypnotic rhythm between Armanii’s understated performance and a female dancer whose fluid, confident movement adds texture to the stripped-back setting. Subtle flashes of turntables and sound systems are woven throughout, reinforcing the track’s infectious pulse while maintaining a strong focus on mood, rhythm and presence.
The release arrives as Armanii prepares to take his music global with the debut of The Impact Tour, set to kick off next month. Known for commanding live audiences, the Kingston-born performer has steadily built a reputation for electrifying performances, including appearances at the iconic Notting Hill Carnival, SXSW, and a performance at the Hollywood Palladium for UnitedMasters’ third annual Celebration of Independence. He also opened at Billboard Hip‑Hop/R&B Live 2025, further expanding his international footprint.
The worldwide tour begins May 7 in Canada, before moving through the United Kingdom and the United States, and culminating with a special homecoming performance in Jamaica. Tickets are available at wikidtour.com, with additional tour announcements expected.

Hailing from Kingston, Armanii has quickly emerged as one of dancehall’s most promising new voices, blending soulful melodies with genre-bending production. Influenced by personal experiences and a wide range of musical styles, he began writing and recording as a teenager, using themes of love, heartbreak and self-discovery to connect with listeners.
