The collaboration marks the first-ever partnership between a Liberian and Dominican artist, opening new doors for global exposure in Liberian music.
On Friday, August 29, Liberian rising star Truth Darii achieved a groundbreaking milestone with the release of the remix to his hit single “Tequila,” featuring Dominican music sensation Money June. Known as J. Almonte, Money June is the lead singer of the Dominican Urban Stars and has built a name through hit collaborations in the Dominican Republic’s thriving urban scene, including his recent track “Fariseo” with Sosa Gucci Prada.
This release is historic as Truth Darii becomes the first Liberian artist to collaborate with a Dominican artist, signaling the expanding reach of Liberian music across continents. Originally dropped on June 19, “Tequila” quickly gained momentum, racking up over 300,000 streams across platforms, placing Darii among the new wave of Liberian talents pulling impressive streaming numbers.
The remix, which dropped less than 24 hours ago, has already amassed 10,000 streams, showing strong reception from both fans and critics. This moment reflects more than just a streaming win — it underscores how Liberian artists are breaking boundaries, proving that Afro-fusion and Liberian sound can travel far beyond West Africa.
Truth Darii’s collaboration paves the way for other Liberian artists to dream bigger and aim for international audiences, setting the stage for more cultural crossovers in the future.
