Chris Brown, French Montana and Trey Songz Join Wizkid for “Shabba”

The island vibe seems to be the winning formula this summer. More and more of hip-hop's biggest names are trying their hand at incorporating reggae vibes into their sound. The latest example comes via Wizkid's new single "Shabba" featuring Chris Brown, French Montana and Trey Songz.

Not to be confused with A$AP Ferg's 2013 banger of the same name, Chris Brown definitely gives a nod to reggae legend Shabba Ranks on this record.

"My niggas, we fuck up some commas/Some of them dirty like Shabba/Jamaican and Haitian, no matter, they pull up with choppers/All of my niggas got rounds, I spray a new face on you clowns/I got a bitch in the viddy, I gave her the shrimp and the lobster/I put that girl in Givenchy, Versace, I'm feeling like Shabba/How that bitch so Hollywood, but that bitch living in Bompton/But I be training these hoes, fresh out the boat, yeah!," Chris croons in the first verse over the Mike WiLL Made-It beat.

Wizkid takes over hook duties, something Breezy is more known for, and credits his new flex to his new girl.

"She got me blowing trees like Shabba/Something like Shabba/Bounce to the beat like Shabba/Something like Shabba/10 gold rings like Shabba, yeah/Something like Shabba/She got me rolling through like Shabba/Something like Shabba/Ride in the Benz like Shabba/Something like Shabba."

Breezy has popped up on a slew of guest features this year, but has been sparse about dropping his own music. Could "Shabba" be a taste of Brown's new musical direction or is this simply Wizkid's wave?
