MIAMI – Hot new reggae artist, Shifta, recently hit the studio with platinum-selling chart-topper, Flo Rida, to re-record Shifta’s hit single “Do It.”
Known for his hit songs “Elevator” featuring Timbaland and “In the Ayer” featuring will.i.am of Black Eyed Peas, Flo Rida is an international hip-hop & pop superstar conquering the Billboard Hot 100 Charts in early 2008 for 10 straight weeks with his debut single, “Low” featuring T-Pain.

Shifta & Flo Rida got together in Miami’s premiere studio, Circle House, owned by legendary reggae group, Inner Circle. The meeting resulted in Flo Rida laying down two verses on the new single, which Shifta is now gearing up to release.
