Reggae Singer Gyptian is poised for more international success, as he recently did a remix of Travie McCoy's popular song Billionaire.The song is currently at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and it also landed spots on other charts, including Pop Songs, Yahoo Audio, R&B/Hip Hop Songs, Radio Songs, Digital Songs, Japan Hot 100 and Canadian Hot 100.
Gyptian said he recorded his part late last week after being contacted to do the remix.
"Dem send mi di track and mi just do it and boom bang," he told THE STAR.
With a collaboration of this nature, Gyptian said his career will be propelled even further.
"It good inna real life. It is putting it (career) to another level. It is showing the world that the career is growing; new step, new market, new fan base," he said, noting that no official release date has yet been set for the song.
"I am an international act myself. I am out there and getting to another level," he noted.
Although Gyptian is unsure of why he was chosen to do the remix, he says it may be linked to the success of his song Hold Yuh, which is currently at number 37 on Billboard's R&B/Hip Hop chart after spending 22 weeks there. The song also holds spots on other Billboard charts, including Heatseekers Songs, Canadian Hot 100 and Radio Songs.
In April, popular American rapper Nicki Minaj remixed Hold Yuh without Gyptian's knowledge. Despite this, he admitted that he was pleased with what she did with the song.
"From is promo, it a work. The song sexy, I like what she has done wid it, it nice. Di song is on the Billboard charts and maybe wid dis it go up deh to di highest," Gyptian said.
