Grammy‑winning reggae star Shaggy has announced that a new official remix of his hit “Lottery” will drop on September 11. The track will feature R&B vocalist Jeremih, hip‑hop icon Rick Ross, and dancehall sensation Skillibeng, adding fresh flavor to the original.
The original “Lottery” was released on May 15 as the title track of Shaggy’s 13‑song studio album. It already showcased Jeremih’s smooth hook, and the song’s lyrics celebrate self‑belief and creative risk‑taking, according to the artist.
In a statement, Shaggy explained that the collaboration was designed to blend distinct musical styles. He said the chemistry between the artists works and that the addition of Ross and Skillibeng pushes the track beyond the energy of the original.
The remix is part of Shaggy’s long‑standing strategy of fusing reggae and dancehall with pop, hip‑hop and R&B. By partnering with international stars, he aims to broaden Jamaican music’s reach to a wider audience.
Fans can expect the remix to be distributed through Ranch Entertainment and VP Records, the same labels that supported the original release. Shaggy’s upcoming single is poised to climb charts and showcase his signature ability to bridge genres while staying true to his reggae roots.
