Malie Donn Releases ‘Van Cleef Pt. 3’ Official Music Video as Trilogy Dominates Apple Music Jamaica

Jamaican Dancehall artist Malie Donn releases the official music video for “Van Cleef Pt. 3” on November 8. The release extends the momentum behind his popular three-part song series.

Malie Donn released the single on October 27. All three installments have since occupied the top three positions on Apple Music Jamaica. Part 3 also reached No. 10 on Apple Music’s Top 25: New York playlist.

A Four-Label Production Collaboration

Attomatic Records, Dan Sky Records, Salkey Recorz and Crook Empire join forces to produce “Van Cleef Pt. 3.” Producer Sapple composed the instrumental.

The track maintains the gritty Dancehall sound that defines the earlier releases. However, Part 3 introduces a more festive feel ahead of the Christmas season.

Its themes remain consistent with the series. Malie Donn delivers lyrics about wealth, women and lifestyle over an energetic Dancehall beat.

Shane Creative Directs the Official Video

The official music video brings the track’s energy to the screen. Shane Creative of Wikid Media handled the direction and filming.

4FortyFour Atelier handled video production, while Naka completed the editing and colour grading. The visual release follows the strong performance of the official audio, which surpassed one million YouTube views within its first week.

The new video gives fans another chapter in the series and adds a visual element to the latest release.

From Waterford to Dancehall Recognition

Born Kimalie Hylton, Malie Donn hails from Spanish Town, Jamaica. He grew up in the Waterford community of Portmore, St. Catherine.

He began writing lyrics during his school years at Bridgeport High School. His breakthrough came with “V6” in 2023, which became one of Jamaica’s major streaming successes that year.

Since then, he has earned recognition at several award ceremonies. His achievements include Best New Dancehall Artist at the Caribbean Music Awards and Best New Entertainer at the 2025 International Reggae & World Music Awards.

His debut album, The Golden Child, has also surpassed 11 million streams.

Building an Independent Career

Malie Donn has previously discussed the business challenges surrounding the ownership of “V6.” He revealed that not owning the song’s master rights affected an earlier opportunity to secure a major-label deal.

His continued success highlights the opportunities available to Dancehall artists who build their catalogues through independent releases and strong production partnerships.

With the release of “Van Cleef Pt. 3” and its official music video, Malie Donn adds another chapter to a series that has made a significant impact on Jamaican music charts.
