Jump Around (KSI song)

"Jump Around" is a song by British YouTuber and recording artist KSI featuring American rapper Waka Flocka Flame.

The song's music video was released on 3 October 2016 and stars KSI and Waka Flocka Flame among a crowd of people, taking to the streets to cause carnage and jumping around and dancing.

"Jump Around" was eventually released for digital download and streaming on 16 September 2016 by Island Records, a division of Universal Music Group.

[1] Liam Luangrathrajasombat of Playback Society praised KSI and Waka Flocka Flame for "[bringing] a fresh 2016 flow to an aged classic" and acclaimed that the song has "a banging beat that would light up the club.

"[9] In his review for Lost In The Manor, Tim Hakki wrote that although KSI's "flippant take on hip hop isn’t really for everyone", "Jump Around" is "definitely the most immediate highlight of his [music] career so far".

Hakki continued, "KSI’s flow sets a great vibe, before Waka [Flocka Flame] arrives and completely slays with his beastly delivery."

They said that "the delivery [and] vocal performance [are] a saving grace" because the lyrics are "belted out with enthusiasm", but they found that "the tone of [KSI's] voice [does] become grating by the final chorus".

KSI then heads down to Waka Flocka Flame's court, where they are accompanied by a large crowd of people, including police officers, jumping around and dancing.
