Following her recent visit to Jamaica, Ghanaian rising star Moliy has expressed her desire to bring dancehall icon Vybz Kartel to her homeland. Vybz Kartel is undeniably one of Jamaica’s biggest musical icons, and Moliy confirmed that his global influence definitely extends to Ghana.
While recognising his widespread influence in Ghana, Moliy expressed a strong desire to collaborate with Vybz Kartel. Kartel continues to make a powerful resurgence on the global stage. Moliy would love to team up with him as she continues to gain international recognition following her breakout song, Shake It To The Max.
The Ghanaian singer expressed her desire to bring Vybz Kartel to perform in Ghana during an interview with BBC 1Xtra. Molly apparently greatly admires the deejay, as she excitedly chose him as the main Jamaican artiste she would bring to her homeland. Her admiration for Kartel goes beyond just his music, as she also spoke about him being a global force, highlighting that his impact extends far beyond the Caribbean.
A collaboration between Moliy and Vybz Kartel would be a major career boost, especially as she enters the international scene. Her hit song quickly transformed from a social media craze into a global smash, inspiring multiple high-profile remixes.
Remixes with Stefflon Don and Elephant Man have expanded the track’s reach, while the official collaboration release featuring Skillibeng and Shenseea has landed a spot on the Billboard Afrobeats chart.
The collaboration with Skillibeng and Shenseea resulted in her taking a trip to Jamaica, which highlighted her love of dancehall. While in Jamaica, she shot the song’s music video, and the artistic direction of the imagery was greatly inspired by dancehall culture.
African and Caribbean music often blend, creating exciting new sounds, and Moliy’s infectious song is a perfect example of this fusion. When dancehall and Afrobeats intertwine, they create fresh, dynamic sounds that get everyone moving.
