Blaiz Fayah drops ‘Ghetto Whine’ ahead of album release

The highly prolific and internationally renowned Dancehall artist, Blaiz Fayah, has announced the release of his new album ‘Shatta Ting’, set to drop on February 21, 2025. ‘Money Pull Up’, the lead focus single from the album is currently going viral and has already cumulated billions of views and generated more than 200k user generated content on Tiktok in 2 months. The track earns 10k daily from a dance challenge that turned into a global trend within just a few weeks.
As influencers and enthusiastic fans all around the world join the challenge of busting some serious moves to this sizzling dancehall banger, the popularity of the track has earned it the #1 spot on the reggae / dancehall chart on Shazam, over 9 million streams on Spotify with more than 450k streams in one day and the track’s video on Youtube has surpassed 3 million views.
With his unique style, Blaiz Fayah is experiencing growing success across the globe, from Colombia to Kenya, the Netherlands, Costa Rica, and France, where he hails from. With ‘Money Pull Up’ leading his current wave of success, Blaiz currently boasts over 3 million monthly listeners and 320 million views on YouTube.
If you’re not already familiar, Blaiz Fayah emerged as a Dancehall revelation in 2018 with his hit ‘Best Gyal’, taken from the album ‘Level Up’. Between 2020 and 2023, he released the ‘Mad Ting’ series, three albums featuring collaborations with beatmakers like DJ Glad and Mafio House, with whom he has consistently delivered hits. Through this series, Blaiz Fayah showcased his diverse influences, blending elements of Dancehall, Kompa, Moombahton, Reggae, Shatta, and Zouk into his music.
Simultaneously, he has collaborated with Basshall Records, delivering some of the Dutch label biggest hits, including ‘Bad’, ‘Pon Di Ting’, ‘Pilot’, ‘Basshall Session #3’, and more recently, ‘Badman Party’. Alongside Kybba, head of Basshall Records, Blaiz Fayah has become a driving force behind the Shatta wave sweeping the international scene.
On his new album ‘Shatta Ting’, Blaiz Fayah returns to instrumentals that are far more Shatta-focused than his previous releases. Produced across Martinique, Paris, the Netherlands, and Spain, the album features collaborations with top-tier Martinican beatmakers such as DJ Glad, Mafio House, Gyzmo, Natoxie, Mikado, Bmad, as well as Kybba, Tribal Kush, and Limitlezz from the Basshall Records roster. Over the years, Blaiz Fayah has built a strong artistic connection with these accomplished producers, whose composition forms the foundation of each of his tracks.
‘Shatta Ting’ also includes two standout collaborations: the “bad queen” Maureen on ‘Money Pull Up’, and the rising star of the new generation of Martinican artists, Le Jèm’ss, on ‘Whole A Dem’. It was actually with a track by Le Jèm’ss that Blaiz Fayah launched his own label, Mad Ting Records, in late 2024.
Blaiz also just dropped ‘Ghetto Whine’, the final single before the album release. A powerful Dancehall flow on an intense Shatta production by Martinican beatmaker Mikado, ‘Ghetto Whine’ is a hot track to whine to!
To accompany the release of ‘Shatta Ting’, Blaiz Fayah will embark on an international tour with his musicians and dancers, performing in France, Europe, Canada, Latin America, and East Africa. The tour will culminate in a special gig at the iconic Olympia Hall in Paris on January 31, 2026, promising a brand-new show, fresh arrangements, and plenty of surprises!

Long-time listeners to Kingdom Kome’s projects will notice that he has unlocked a new chamber lyrically in this release. The emcee said “It’s a more spiritually focused album. I wanted to touch on a lot more esoteric and occult sciences on this one.” This extends to the subtitle Ein Sof which in terms of Kabbalah (the ancient Hebrew mystical practice that explores the nature of God and the Universe) which translates as “the endless one.” As Kingdom Kome states “there’s breadcrumbs throughout the album for people to do their own research.
