True Gyalist
"True Gyalist" is a song that celebrates the art of the pickup artist with a reggae swagger. The track, by Phantom IMC featuring Skarra Mucci, is a dancehall tune that is full of the kind of playful bravado that defines the genre. The lyrics are a boast about being a natural with the ladies, delivered with a flow that is both confident and fun. The song opens with a declaration. "Man a gyalist from birth naturally from mi little and a grow dolly house mi a di daddy / Some boy cant get no girl cause dem style too sloppy mi a original dem a carbón copy you get it." "I'm a gyalist from birth, naturally, from when I was little and grew up in a dollhouse, I'm the daddy / Some boys can't get no girl because their style is too sloppy, I'm original, they're a carbon copy, you get it." It is a song about being the real deal, about the difference between natural charm and trying too hard. The second verse is full of the kind of playful imagery that makes dancehall so appealing. "King Salomn no have nothing pan mi cause if gyal was money mi rotten rich pardy mi swear / Dem alone make mi happy woman love mi like bees love honey skarra tell dem." "King Solomon has nothing on me because if girls were money, I'd be rotten rich, I swear / They alone make me happy, women love me like bees love honey, Skarra tell them." It is a song about the joy of being loved, about the way that charm can feel like a superpower. For a reviewer, "True Gyalist" is a fun example of Phantom IMC's ability to create music that is both catchy and playful. It is a song about confidence, about the art of the pickup, and it is delivered with a flow that is both smooth and energetic. It is a track that rewards a loud listen, and it is a worthy addition to the dancehall canon. |
