Grammy-winning reggae icon Shaggy is raising the stakes with the official remix of ‘Lottery’, featuring Jeremih, Rick Ross and Skillibeng.

The remix is set for release on September 11 through Ranch Entertainment and VP Records, bringing four distinctive voices together for a major cross-genre collaboration. The original Lottery, featuring Jeremih, serves as the title track of Shaggy’s 13-track studio album, released on May 15. The project is rooted in the philosophy of betting on yourself, trusting your instincts and embracing creative risks.

The remix expands that vision while retaining the original synergy between Shaggy and Jeremih. Rick Ross adds his commanding hip-hop presence, while Skillibeng injects the track with the raw energy of new-age Jamaican dancehall.

Shaggy remains at the centre, connecting each sound through his unmistakable voice and Caribbean identity.

“Lottery has always been about taking a chance and believing in your own hand. Jeremih brought a smooth energy to the original, and bringing Rick Ross and Skillibeng onto the remix takes it to another level. Everybody comes from a different lane, but the chemistry works.”

The collaboration continues Shaggy’s longstaanding approach to creating music without rigid boundaries. Throughout his career, he has connected reggae and dancehall with pop, hip hop and R&B, helping Jamaican music reach audiences around the world.
