“Good Ole”, which most people search for as “Good Ole Gyal”, is the first song 450 and Stalk Ashley have released together. It came out on 14 August 2026, produced by DethWrld. Neither artist has said publicly how the collaboration started. Their catalogues, though, show two careers that had been getting closer for years, through shared collaborators, the same business circles and a long habit of male-female duets.
What we know about how it came together
Very little has come from the artists themselves. Stalk Ashley’s duet with Skillibeng has a well-known origin story that began in an Instagram DM (read it here), but “Good Ole” has nothing like that on record yet. The confirmed facts are:
- Both artists share the songwriting credit on Apple Music, so this is a co-write, not a guest verse added to a finished song.
- DethWrld produced it and released it on his own Dethwrld Records. He had already worked with 450 on “Time Fi You” in 2023.
- The video went up on 450’s channel, and 450 announced the song himself on Instagram with a caption calling Stalk Ashley Ms Good Ole.
- Reporting on 16 August, DancehallMag read the pairing as a sign of mutual respect and suggested it could lead to more work together.
We have not included any claims about when or where the song was recorded, because neither camp has shared those details.
What 450 brings to the duet
450, born Tristen Escoffery, broke through in 2021 with the autobiographical “Imperfection”. He followed it with “Wild n Rich” in 2023, which the Jamaica Observer reported went to No. 1 on Apple Music in 14 Caribbean islands. His 16-track debut album Pieces of Me arrived in May 2025, and by October The Star reported it had sold nearly 7,000 units in the US. The album is now up for Album of the Year at the Caribbean Music Awards.
Duets with women are less of a habit for him than for Stalk Ashley, but he has done them before:
- “Crawsis” with Shaneil Muir (2023)
- “Portrait” with Stefflon Don, from Pieces of Me (2025)
- “R&B” from Davido’s album 5ive, alongside Shenseea (2025)
Our full profile, Who is 450?, covers the rest of his story.
What Stalk Ashley brings
If 450 is the story-driven melodic voice, Stalk Ashley is the duet specialist. Her career took off with a duet, “Wasteman” with Jada Kingdom in 2018. Since then her collaborations have included “Narcissistic” and “Big Vibes” with Valiant, “Really Like U” with Skillibeng, “Stay With Me” and “Ready for the Ride” with Sean Paul, “R.B.G (Real Bad Gyal)” with Dexta Daps and “Therapy” with MXSSIVH. Each pairing has put her Dancehall&B singing next to a different kind of partner, and 450 adds another melodic voice to that list. The full list is on her collaborations hub.
The connections that made the pairing make sense
Valiant
Valiant is the clearest link between them. 450 released “Faith” with Valiant in 2024 and appears on the title track of Valiant’s 2025 EP Prove Them Wrong. Stalk Ashley’s “Narcissistic” with Valiant topped Jamaican charts for weeks, according to Vibe, and the pair reunited on “Big Vibes” (every Stalk Ashley and Valiant song).
Zojak World Wide
The distributor is another thread. The official video description for 450’s 2023 single “Time Fi You” says Zojak World Wide handled distribution, and Zojak also released Stalk Ashley’s 2024 debut album Stalky the Bratt together with her own Stalk Ashley Music.
DethWrld and Armanii
DethWrld produced Armanii’s 2025 single “Block Traffic”. In May 2026, Armanii shared the bill with Stalk Ashley on the Impact Tour in Canada. The producer and the singer were already working one step apart before “Good Ole” brought them together.
Dancehall’s crossover veterans
Both artists spent 2026 recording with the generation that took dancehall global. Stalk Ashley released “Ready for the Ride” with Sean Paul in February, and 450 featured on “We Love Di Gal Dem” from Shaggy’s May album Lottery.
Where the collaboration goes next
Nothing further has been announced. 450 told the Jamaica Observer in September that he is working on new music and visuals, and Stalk Ashley released “SKIN OUT” with Destin Conrad less than a week after “Good Ole”.
