Dancehall icon brings his signature energy to the viral hit that's dominating charts and social media

Dancehall superstar Sean Paul has officially joined forces with rising star Moliy on the highly anticipated remix of "Shake It to the Max," the track that's been setting social media ablaze and climbing the Billboard Hot 100 charts. The remix, titled "Shake It to the Max (TUFF)," dropped today and promises to amplify the song's already explosive momentum.

The collaboration brings together two generations of Dancehall excellence, with Sean Paul's infectious verse and signature flow adding new dimension to the already viral sensation. Produced by acclaimed hitmakers Disco Neil and Silent Addy, the remix showcases the perfect blend of contemporary Dancehall innovation and Sean Paul's legendary artistry.

"Shake It to the Max" has been surging toward the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 and represents a significant milestone for Dancehall music. The track stands as only the third Dancehall song to crack the Hot 100 this decade, following Byron Messia and Burna Boy's "Talibans II" and Nicki Minaj's remix of Skillibeng's "Crocodile Teeth."

The original track has already captured the attention of major artists and celebrities, with a viral dance challenge embraced by the likes of J-Hope, Victoria Monét, Vic Mensa, and Cash Cobain. This widespread social media adoption has been instrumental in driving the song's commercial success and cultural impact.

Reflecting on his decision to join the remix, Sean Paul expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration. "This one had the right energy from early — the riddim, the vibe, the movement — all TUFF," he explained. The veteran artist praised Moliy's contribution, noting that "Moli's vocals is definitely catchy, and the way people been reacting to this tune globally, I was honoured to jump on it."

The collaboration came together through Bashment Sound, with Sean Paul acknowledging their role in facilitating the partnership: "Big up Bashment Sound for bringing us together."

The remix arrives at a strategic moment, as the original track continues its upward trajectory on streaming platforms and radio. With Sean Paul's global fanbase and proven track record of creating summer anthems, industry insiders predict the remix could push "Shake It to the Max" even higher on the charts.

This collaboration also aligns with Sean Paul's recent activity, as he's currently touring with rapper Wiz Khalifa and has been actively promoting his own viral release "TUFF," which is part of Bashment Sound's Bashment Riddim series.

The success of "Shake It to the Max" and its remix represents more than just chart performance—it signals a renewed global appetite for authentic Dancehall music. With Sean Paul continuing to serve as the genre's most recognizable ambassador, his involvement in the remix helps bridge the gap between Dancehall's roots and its contemporary evolution.

As the summer season peaks, "Shake It to the Max (TUFF)" is perfectly positioned to become the definitive soundtrack for 2025, combining Moliy's fresh energy with Sean Paul's time-tested formula for creating infectious, dance-worthy hits that resonate across cultures and generations.
