Ghanaian-American Afro-fusion singer MOLIY and Jamaican producer Silent Addy pull in Shenseea and Skillibeng on the remix of “SHAKE IT TO THE MAX (FLY)” – and it became one of the biggest global crossover records of the year.
The original dropped in December 2024 and already had momentum. But bringing in two of dancehall’s most in-demand voices changed everything. Shenseea and Skillibeng did not just add verses – they added an entirely new fanbase and energy that pushed the record from regional hit to global conversation. So the remix landed at number six on the Billboard Global 200. That kind of placement does not happen by accident.
Disco Neil’s production holds the fusion together cleanly. The Afropop and dancehall elements sit beside each other without clashing – MOLIY’s sultry Ghanaian-American vocal energy moves naturally into the Jamaican dancehall territory Shenseea and Skillibeng occupy. Because the best cross-genre collaborations work when the sonic gap between the artists is smaller than it first appears – and here, the gap closes almost immediately.
The Grammy controversy also gave the song a second wave of attention. Though gamma. CEO Larry Jackson publicly called the disqualification from Best Global Music Performance categories devoid of common sense, the Academy’s decision still could not stop the record from dominating real-world playlists and dancefloors throughout 2025 and well into 2026.
For African music fans who watched MOLIY build from the “Sad Girlz Luv Money” remix into her own headlining moment, this record is the fullest expression of where she stands right now.
