Eazi Money, the New York artist also known as Big Bag Blue Hundreds, landed his most significant collaboration to date when he joined forces with Jamaican dancehall force Skillibeng on "Ghost," a two-minute-and-36-second trap-dancehall hybrid produced by Minto Play under the Da Riddim banner. The single went live on YouTube and major streaming platforms on April 3, 2026.

The track splits its energy between its two contributors with clear intention. Skillibeng, born Emwah Ryan Warmington in Jamaica on December 23, 1996, opens with an aggressive verse centered on growth, self-reliance, and the grind it takes to get there. Eazi Money follows in a more melodic register, his bars tracking a personal narrative of upward mobility that runs directly through his stage alias. The quoted lyric lands like a mission statement: "I'm on the rise, they want me gone i know that, new money i got i show that, big bags blue hundreds we on that!" The line fuses autobiography with bravado in a way that makes the Big Bag Blue Hundreds alias feel less like a nickname and more like a thesis.

For Eazi Money, whose catalog spans the album Big Bag 4 Eazi Money alongside the Rnb Eazi and The Cost of Fame EPs, the feature represents a logical next move. Apple Music describes his sound as rooted in conventional reggae while incorporating dancehall with hip-hop and R&B elements, a description that maps precisely onto what "Ghost" delivers. The Skillibeng collaboration amplifies that crossover reach considerably.

Skillibeng arrived in dancehall consciousness with "Brik Pan Brik" in 2019, and the six projects since, Prodigy, The Prodigy, The Prodigy: Ladies Only Edition, Crocodile Teeth, Mr. Universe, and Eastsyde, document a career that has moved steadily outward from Jamaica into global territory. His US collaborator list includes DJ Khaled, Nicki Minaj, Busta Rhymes, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, French Montana, Young M.A, and Rich the Kid, giving him deep credibility in New York hip-hop circles. Both The Face and i-D magazine profiled him in 2020 and 2022 as Jamaica's emerging dancehall voice of his generation. For a Brooklyn-based artist like Eazi Money, that New York connection makes Skillibeng a particularly fitting collaborator rather than a purely transatlantic reach.

The context behind Eazi Money's rise gives the release added weight. He opened for Vybz Kartel at Barclays Center in Brooklyn in 2025, during "Reggae Fest: The Return of Vybz Kartel," a two-night run on April 11 and 12 that sold out both evenings. Skeng, Popcaan, and Kartel's sons Likkle Vybz and Likke Addi also appeared on that bill. Kartel returned to Barclays again on August 29, 2025, for the Reggae Fest Massive Labor Day Weekend edition. Kartel himself called New York "Jamaica outside of Jamaica" during that run, a phrase that captures exactly the diaspora energy "Ghost" is built to tap.

For sound system selectors and playlist curators, Minto Play's production credit signals a riddim-forward approach that sits comfortably in Caribbean club programming while crossing into trap and street rap contexts. The track is listed on Reggaeville's release calendar, confirming its April 3 digital rollout.
