The Starboy movement is beginning to take shape outside of the African continent. Wizkid just partnered with several heavyweights of the music industry to debut a dancehall-inspired song that could be this summer’s anthem.

Paying homage to Shabba Ranks

Months after releasing two very successful singles with Canadian rapper Drake, Wizkid is back with what could be the biggest collaboration of his career so far. The much-anticipated hit featuring pop star Chris Brown is finally available. Weeks after he shared the stage with the American artist on the One Hell Of A Night European tour in Amsterdam, Wizkid released a single called Shabba, featuring Chris Brown, R&B sensation Trey Songz and rapper French Montana. The song, produced by the popular hitmaker Mike Will, pays homage to the legendary Jamaican artist Shabba Ranks. Wizkid introduced the track on his Instagram page with the following caption:
