Bashment Sound Enlist Rema x Skillibeng For “Ballerina”

Dancehall tastemakers Bashment Sound (Silent Addy & Disco Neil) are bridging Dancehall, Shatta, Afrobeats and global club culture, helping define the next wave of Caribbean-influenced music, a lane that focuses on global sounds and emerging movements. 

“Ballerina” is a cross-continental link-up where Kingston grit meets Afrobeats finesse, pairing Rema’s melodic innovation with Skillibeng’s unmistakable cadence over Bashment Sound’s bass-heavy production. The release signals a new chapter in Dancehall’s evolution and highlights the rapid global rise of Shatta Dancehall, a high-energy hybrid pushing the genre far beyond its Caribbean origins.

The release follows the phenomenal success of  “Shake It to the Max” (feat. Shenseea & Skillibeng) with MOLIY, one of 2025’s defining global records. The single has surpassed 1 billion streams, reached No. 12 on the UK Official Singles Chart, spent 10 weeks at No. 1 on Global Shazam, topped charts in 100+ cities, generated 10M+ TikTok creations, and was named “Song of the Summer” by Spotify and TikTok. It also earned UK Gold certification, hit No.1 on Billboard’s U.S. Afrobeats chart, the Official UK Afrobeats Chart, the Official UK Hip-Hop Chart, and received two MTV VMA nominations. This also lead to huge “Shake it to the Max” remixes from Sean Paul and Major Lazer.

Beyond the stats, Silent Addy and Disco Neil have quietly built one of the most influential Caribbean music platforms in Miami, transforming a grassroots party series into a globally respected tastemaking brand with monthly events in New York, Miami, Toronto and Jamaica.
