During the live performance VJ Suchin Pak called Gyptian, "One of Jamaica's hottest musical exports in recent years." Fadar Magazine's former editor Julianne Shepherd noted that Gyptian's Hold Yuh was popular on New York radio stations for two years. For the show Gyptian performed Beautiful Lady, Nah Let Go before ending with his smash hit Hold Yuh.

Speaking with The STAR recently, Gyptian's manager Ivor Ruddock said the notice from MTV was something that would boost Gyptian's career. "Indeed, it is a privilege because they choose from different genres and different countries. It is a good look," said Ruddock.

Gyptian is also scheduled to perform at the upcoming New Year's Eve celebrations at Times Square in New York City. He will be one of the headliners slated to perform on MTV's coverage of the New Year's celebrations on December 31. Regarded as one of the largest New Year's celebrations worldwide, more than two million viewers on average view the Billboard screen in Manhattan for all the performances and happening during the celebration preluding the traditional dropping of the ball at midnight.

Gyptian climbed the Billboard and local charts with Hold Yuh last year. The song was remixed by rap star Nicki Minaj. Gyptian spent some time in the United States recording songs for an album scheduled for release next
