American R&B singer Chris Brown sampled Veteran Dancehall artist Red Rat’s 1997 smash hit single “Tight Up Skirt” in his new track titled “Privacy.”
According to Red Rat the feedback has been overwhelming as his phone has been blowing up since Breezy dropped the David Doman-produced track last month.
“Privacy” official music has already racked up over 6.9 Million views on VEVO since its April 14 release and is currently the number 8 trending video on YouTube in Jamaica.
Speaking on the recent success Red Rat says he is happy for the exposure and the longevity of his music.

“Ever since Chris Brown was in the studio recording the song Privacy and posted it on social media, I have been getting many calls left and right from many people asking me about my thoughts regarding him sampling Tight Up Skirt, and all I can say is, ‘Give God all the glory,’” Red Rat said.
“I think that because Chris Brown, who is one of the biggest pop stars globally, feeling the need to sample a piece of Tight Up Skirt only shows how much he loves and respects Red Rat and his catalogue. It also shows how much of a fan he is to the music.”
Red Rat became a household name back in the 90s with the release of the track which was produced by Andrew Bradford for the Opera House label and now its making a coming back.
