Dancehall superstar Popcaan makes a surprise cameo in American rapper Latto’s sun-drenched new music video “Somebody,” a visual love letter to Jamaica’s tropical beauty and laid-back culture. The video, directed by Latto’s sister Brooklyn Nikole, finds the Atlanta rapper floating on bamboo rafts, vibing in lush green landscapes, and flaunting island glam in a barely-there bikini. But it’s Popcaan’s appearance that delivers a cross-cultural punch—connecting Atlanta hip hop and Jamaican dancehall in a way that feels organic and celebratory.
“Somebody,” Latto’s first solo single of 2025, samples Aaliyah’s 1998 classic Are You That Somebody? and flips it into a smooth, modern-day summer anthem. With lyrics like “All I want is you, boy… I really need somebody / Tell me you’re that somebody,” Latto effortlessly blends nostalgia with her confident, sultry delivery. The track follows her critically acclaimed Sugar Honey Iced Tea album, sparking speculation about a deluxe edition or new full-length project.
Currently on a European tour with stops across the UK, France, and Amsterdam, Latto continues to expand her global footprint. With Popcaan’s cameo and a video shot on Jamaican soil, “Somebody” is more than a single—it’s a cultural moment that bridges worlds through sound, scenery, and star power.
