Jah X, Junior Reid, Mavado and Popcaan give Bobby Shmurda's "Hot Nigga' a Jamaican remix.

Bobby Shmurda's "Hot Nigga" (ok, Lloyd Banks' "Jackpot") has arguably weathered more remixes than any other song this summer, but it might have just gotten the best and most unique one yet. Jah X, Junior Reid, Mavado and Popcaan all join Shmurda to give the Jahlil Beats-produced track a "Reggae mix."

Though the song's beat bears little in common with most reggae and dancehall, all four artists complete shred on this version of "Hot Nigga." The street-hardened, "just caught a body 'bout a week ago" sentiment from the original peerhaps even gets amplified by Popcaan's presence, as he was the protegé of Vybz Kartel, the reggae artist who was recently convicted of murder.

Can you dig it, mon?

Quotable Lyrics:

We don't go lookin' for no answers
We get it done
Brooklyn motherfucking gangstas
Squeezin' the gun
