Grammy-nominated deejay Spice releases her fresh single, "Sitt’n fi Chat," on the 'Badman' riddim, produced by Shaggy and Shane Hoosong
Spice Set to Drop 'Sitt’n Fi Chat,' Celebrating 25 Years in Dancehall
GRAMMY-nominated Jamaican superstar Spice joins the iconic 1981 "Gunman" riddim with her latest single, "Sitt’n Fi Chat," set to premiere on September 12. Produced by Shaggy and Shane Hoosong, the track reimagines Henry "Junjo" Lawes' classic riddim, while the Jay Will-directed video highlights key moments from Spice's career, showcasing her rise from a young talent to the reigning Dancehall Queen.
“Sitt’n Fi Chat” is the third release from the "Badman Riddim", a juggling series featuring Shaggy, Olaf Blackwood, Junior Cat, and others, each bringing a fresh take on the revamped vintage instrumental. Spice's single and video will debut through a collaboration between Shaggy’s Ranch Entertainment and VP Records.
The video, blending found footage with re-enacted scenes, chronicles Spice’s journey from being introduced by Ninjaman to collaborating with Vybz Kartel, to cementing her title as Dancehall Queen. The visuals span her entire career, capturing pivotal moments and ending right where it all began — with Spice commanding the stage, mic in hand, electrifying the crowd. As with her recent album Mirror 25 (released on August 9), "Sitt’n Fi Chat" celebrates her 25-year milestone in music.
“‘Sitt’n Fi Chat’ is a special release because it reflects my musical journey, including my introduction to Dancehall. Big up to the legendary Ninjaman — it’s like walking down memory lane,” Spice shared. “My deejay style here is classic old-school, and the video brings back moments from ‘Romping Shop,’ ‘So Mi Like It,’ and other highlights from my career.”
“Working with the legendary Shaggy is always a privilege. His ear for music is second to none, and I can’t wait for the world to hear this versatile track,” she added.
“Sitt’n Fi Chat” continues the successful partnership between Shaggy and Spice, following their 2021 hit "Go Down Deh" with Sean Paul. The track became the biggest dancehall hit of the decade, earning hundreds of millions of streams, global certifications, and a GRAMMY nomination for Best Reggae Album. The Jay Will-directed video has surpassed 275 million YouTube views.
