Anthony B’s City Remix fuses reggae, champeta and Afropop muscle

Anthony B’s City Remix arrived on June 26, 2026, with Jahboi Studio Beats steering a cross-continental cut that puts reggae, Colombian champeta and Nigerian alt-pop in the same frame without flattening any of them. The record is built for movement as much as streaming, and its pull comes from the way each voice keeps its own shape inside a nightlife-minded track that sits at the intersection of reggae, dancehall, champeta and Afropop.

Anthony B brings the anchor. YouTube Music identifies him as Keith Anthony Blair, a Jamaican DJ and member of the Rastafari movement, and that roots-reggae authority gives the song its center of gravity. His delivery carries the social edge and steadiness that have long made him one of the genre’s most recognisable conscious voices, so the remix does not lean on him as a token reggae name. It uses him as the record’s base layer, the voice that keeps the collaboration tied to Jamaica even as the arrangement moves outward.

Kevin Flórez pushes the track toward Cartagena. Born there on August 19, 1991, he broke through with El Rey de la Champeta Urbana in 2013 and won the Congo de Oro at Barranquilla’s Carnival the same year, a résumé that matters here because champeta adds more than percussion. Flórez brings the sharper party pulse and coastal bounce that make the remix feel like it belongs on a crowded dance floor, not just in a digital carousel. Bella Alubo gives the song another shift in texture, moving between melody, swagger and emotional detail in a way that draws from Nigeria’s Afropop and alt-pop lanes without losing her own identity.

Her own official pages underline that range. Bella Alubo says Fancy Lady reached No. 1 on YouTube Music in Lagos and has passed 9.5 million views, and her bio says she moved from modeling into music, starting as a rapper before settling into a more melodic style. That background helps explain why her part in City Remix feels fluid rather than ornamental. She is not dropped in to soften the track for broad appeal; she widens it from the inside.

Jahboi Studio Beats, meanwhile, sits at the production center of a larger pattern, one that has spent recent years connecting reggae and dancehall with other Afro-fusion spaces. City Remix fits that route cleanly. It has club utility, replay value and playlist reach, but the stronger point is that Anthony B, Kevin Flórez and Bella Alubo each sound like themselves. That is what keeps the record from feeling like a branding exercise and makes it read like real genre expansion.
