Khalil D’jamaal Honors Hip-Hop’s Roots with Explosive New Single “Sound Boy”
International hip-hop artist Khalil D’jamaal returns with “Sound Boy”, a bold homage to the genre’s Jamaican roots. Set for global premiere on July 5th, the track fuses raw hip-hop lyricism with the fire of Jamaican sound system culture, anchored by a scratched Capleton sample that commands attention.
Shot entirely in Kingston, Jamaica, the powerful visual—directed by local talent Shemar Grant—blends the grit of downtown streets with the lush energy of Reggae Falls. It’s more than a video; it’s a homecoming, connecting the Bronx beginnings of hip-hop to its Caribbean ancestry.
D’jamaal, a descendant of Jamaican heritage, channels this lineage with intensity, storytelling, and style. “Sound Boy” is a cultural celebration, a sonic bridge between generations and nations—solidifying Khalil D’jamaal as a visionary voice in the global hip-hop movement.
