Singjay Mavado will be featured alongside some of rap's biggest stars in the remix of Welcome to My Hood, mixed by DJ Khaled.

The original version of Welcome to My Hood features rappers Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, Plies and T-Pain, but DJ Khaled gathered an all-star cast for the remix that reads like a who's who of rap over the last decade. Mavado lines up with Ludacris, T-Pain, Busta Rhymes, Twista, Birdman, Ace Hood, Fat Joe, Jadakiss, Bun B, Game and Waka Flocka on the remix, with Mavado singing fifth on the track.

"Everybody's saying they love Mavado's verse," says Def Jam South president DJ Khaled in a release sent to THE STAR. "The remix has been getting crazy reaction and rotation since it dropped and the Gully Gad is a big part of that. I'm a big fan of Mavado's and his flava on the record just adds that different edge."

Plans are already under way for a video to be shot for the remix, which is seven minutes long, but since Mavado is at present unable to travel to the US, his part will be specially shot in Jamaica by a local director and slotted in.

crazy airplay

In the release Mavado said, "It's a great feeling for the Star Boy to be on a record with such a list of stars, nah mean. It helps position my career right in the mainstream as the record is getting crazy airplay on radio in America already. When my manager told me Khaled called him, I just did it same time without even knowing who else was gonna be on the remix. Khaled always does his thing larger than life but the result is bigger than I was even expecting, it hot like pepper."

Welcome To My Hood is the first single from Khaled's fifth album, titled We The Best Forever, that features the likes of Drake, Nicki Minaj, Keyshia Cole, Cee Lo Green, Rick Ross, Kanye West, Jay-Z, Birdman, Lil Wayne and T.I.

"Mavado is gonna be on a very special record on the album too," added Khaled. "We also gonna put him on Ace Hood's new album, Ace got that Hustle Hard record locking down the planet right now so we getting ready to drop that. 'We The Best' got lots of plans for the Gully Gad so listen."

Mavado is appearing up close and personal this Friday night at Studio 38, 38A Trafalgar Road, before he moves on to Margaritaville in Ocho Rios alongside Wayne Marshall and Elephant Man.
