Chi Ching Ching says the remix “is an inspiration of a song, meant to bring unity and people together. My mission is to make people happy.”
Fatman Scoop tells The FADER, “I loved working with Ching. I met him on the road when I was doing R&B Fridays in Australia with Sean Paul. Immediately, I recognized that this guy had star potential and vibe. I just wanted to be a part of something he was doing and we went to the studio to work on some records and this remix is one of them.”
Following Fatman Scoop’s Clap Your Hands Now remix for Sean Paul’s 2003 “Get Busy,” the iconic hype man comes full circle on this record with the Dutty Rock family.
A video for the “Rock Di World (Remix)” has also been shot in Kingston, Jamaica and will drop later this month.
