Jamaican producer Mxssivh’s stocks rise as Drake hits Hot 100

Montego Bay-based producer Mxssivh is celebrating a career milestone as his production work features on two tracks from Drake's recently released albums, 'Maid of Honour' and 'Iceman'. This achievement has propelled his profile significantly within the music industry.

The track 'Ran to Atlanta,' from Drake's 'Iceman' album, which features Future and Molly Santana, made its debut at the impressive second position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Another collaboration, 'New Bestie' from the 'Maid of Honour' album, entered the chart at number 72. The success of these tracks highlights Mxssivh's growing influence.

Drake's 'Iceman' album itself achieved a dominant first-week performance, debuting at #1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with 463,000 album-equivalent units sold. This marks Drake's 15th album to reach the top spot. 'Maid of Honour' also performed strongly, arriving at #3 with 110,000 album-equivalent units.

Internationally, the albums have also seen considerable success. 'Iceman' claimed the #1 spot in the United Kingdom and topped charts in several other countries, including Switzerland, Sweden, New Zealand, Lithuania, Ireland, Australia, and the Netherlands. 'Maid of Honour' secured a #6 position in the UK and reached the top 10 in multiple other territories. This success is particularly noteworthy as it represents the first time in three years an album topping the Billboard 200 has featured a Jamaican producer, with Drake's 'For All the Dogs' in 2023 being the previous instance.
