Jamaican dancehall star Armanii released his new single Holes In Hats on November 4, 2026, then played Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena the very next night as a special guest at Mavado and Friends. Release week and arena week landed together, and Toronto’s Caribbean audience got both at once.
The single was announced by his publicity team at Audible Treats on November 4, billed as Armanii keeping up his momentum, and it is also listed in the November 7 dancehall DJ pool rounds alongside his October single Polaroid. Holes In Hats is streaming now, and its full credits are listed at Riddim World.

Armanii Holes In Hats Caps A Toronto Week
The Toronto date gives this release its local weight. On November 5, Armanii walked onto the Scotiabank Arena stage as one of two special guests, with Masicka, at Mavado’s first Toronto performance in nine years, hosted by Spex Da Boss. A Kingston artist with a single out the day before an arena guest slot in Toronto is exactly how dancehall careers are built in this city: the diaspora hears the record and sees the artist in the same week.
A Run Of Singles, Not A Quiet Year
Holes In Hats is the latest in a deliberate sequence. Polaroid arrived October 16, on the heels of his nomination for Artist of the Year Caribbean 2026 at the Urban Music Awards UK. Before that came Second Choice on October 8, a reggae ballad that opened the road to REVERB, his upcoming reggae EP, and a summer run of Wul Up, World Class and Property Tax. Each single works a different corner of his sound, from party records to a roots ballad, which is why the momentum language in the announcements holds up.
The Album Numbers Under The Singles
The foundation is THE IMPACT, his December 2025 debut album, which reached number 1 on the US iTunes Reggae Chart, number 1 on the US Apple Music Reggae Chart and number 8 on the Billboard Reggae Albums Chart, per his team’s release reporting. Singles that arrive on top of a charting album are not introductions. They are a victory lap in instalments.
Holes In Hats is out now, released November 4, 2026. Toronto heard it live, in an arena, one night later.
