Intence’s ‘Yahoo Boyz’ Earns No. 1 On YouTube Jamaica Charts

The music video for Intence’s Yahoo Boyz has captured significant interest in the streets, as well as on YouTube, according to the platform’s Music Charts And Insights during the July 23-30 tracking period.

With a dose of fresh chicken blood, a couple of dozen candles, a laptop, a few phones, and of course some Hennessey and a spliff in hand, Intence shows viewers he’s quite adept in the art of voodoo.
