Blaiz Fayah teams up with Kybba for ‘Gimmie This’
The highly prolific and internationally renowned Dancehall artist, Blaiz Fayah, has announced the release of his new album “Shatta Ting”, set to drop on February 21, 2025.
With his unique style, Blaiz Fayah is experiencing growing success across the globe, from Colombia to Kenya, the Netherlands, Costa Rica, and France, where he hails from. With each release, Blaiz Fayah continues to surprise his audience and build excitement, cementing his place as a key figure in the Dancehall/Shatta scene.
To date, he boasts over 2.5 million monthly listeners and 250 million streams on Spotify, 320 million views on YouTube—including 120 million for his hit “Bad” (certified gold in the Netherlands)—and more than 1.5 million TikTok videos using his biggest hits, accumulating a billion views. His latest single “Money Pull Up” sparked a dance challenge that turned into a global trend within just a few weeks.
Blaiz Fayah emerged as a Dancehall revelation in 2018 with his hit “Best Gyal”, taken from the album “Level Up”. Between 2020 and 2023, he released the “Mad Ting” series, three albums featuring collaborations with beatmakers like DJ Glad and Mafio House, with whom he has consistently delivered hits. Through this series, Blaiz Fayah showcased his diverse influences, blending elements of Dancehall, Kompa, Moombahton, Reggae, Shatta, and Zouk into his music.
Simultaneously, he has collaborated with Basshall Records, delivering some of the Dutch label’s biggest hits, including “Bad”, “Pon Di Ting”, “Pilot”, “Basshall Session #3”, and more recently, “Badman Party”. Blaiz Fayah’s sizzling new single “Gimmie This” is produced by Kybba – head of Basshall Records, a longtime collaborator of the singer. With hundreds of millions of streams between them, Kybba and Blaiz Fayah have become a driving force behind the Shatta wave sweeping the international scene right now. There is no doubt that their new banger, with its catchy chorus, will delight Shatta fans all over the world!
On his new album “Shatta Ting”, Blaiz Fayah returns to instrumentals that are far more Shatta-focused than his previous releases. Produced across Martinique, Paris, the Netherlands, and Spain, the album features collaborations with top-tier Martinican beatmakers such as DJ Glad, Mafio House, Gyzmo, Natoxie, Mikado, Bmad, as well as Kybba, Tribal Kush, and Limitlezz from the Basshall Records roster. Over the years, Blaiz Fayah has built a strong artistic connection with these accomplished producers, whose composition forms the foundation of each of his tracks.
“Shatta Ting” also includes two standout collaborations: the “bad queen” Maureen on the track “Money Pull Up”, and the rising star of the new generation of Martinican artists, Le Jèm’ss, on “Whole A Dem”. It was actually with a track by Le Jèm’ss that Blaiz Fayah launched his own label, Mad Ting Records, in late 2024.
To accompany the release of his album “Shatta Ting”, Blaiz Fayah will embark on an international tour with his musicians and dancers, performing in France, Europe, Canada, Latin America, and East Africa. The tour will culminate in a special gig at the iconic Olympia Hall in Paris on January 31, 2026, promising a brand-new show, fresh arrangements, and plenty of surprises!
