Ghanaian-American breakout star Moliy and Jamaican dancehall phenom Skillibeng have each earned their second career entries on the Billboard Hot 100, thanks to the chart debut of Moliy’s explosive single “Shake It to the Max (FLY) Remix.” The track, which blends Afrobeats and dancehall into a vibrant, genre-defying anthem, officially landed at No. 91, further cementing both artists’ growing global impact.
Moliy first cracked the Hot 100 in 2022 with her appearance on the viral hit “Sad Girlz Luv Money (Remix)” alongside Amaarae and Kali Uchis, a dreamy, genre-bending track that catapulted her into the global spotlight. Skillibeng made his Billboard debut in 2021 with “Crocodile Teeth (Remix)” featuring Nicki Minaj, a gritty, bass-heavy anthem that introduced his St. Thomas-bred style to U.S. audiences and helped usher in dancehall’s Gen-Z resurgence.
Featuring Shenseea and Miami-based producer Silent Addy, who are celebrating their first-ever Hot 100 placements, the remix has quickly become a worldwide favourite. Driven by its infectious rhythm and cross-cultural appeal, the song has gained major traction on TikTok and across international club scenes—an emblem of the new wave of African-Caribbean collaborations now dominating the charts.
This milestone adds to a blockbuster week for Moliy, who earlier made headlines after surpassing Afrobeats heavyweight Davido to become the Bestselling Digital African Artist of 2025. Her record-breaking score of 665 points on the continent’s digital performance index reflects a meteoric rise powered by streaming, digital sales, and viral engagement.
Produced by Silent Addy, best known for championing Caribbean culture through his Bashment party series and forward-thinking productions, “Shake It to the Max (FLY) Remix” exemplifies the sonic synergy emerging from Africa and the Caribbean. As dancehall and Afrobeats continue to command global attention, this moment signals a bold new chapter—where artists like Moliy, Skillibeng, Shenseea, and Silent Addy aren’t just riding the wave—they’re leading it.
