After the teasers, get the real thing: International rapper Pitbull collaborates with Static and Ben-El in the song "Further Up" • And what's the connection to Madonna and Rihanna? • Watch the clip

About two months ago, we first told you about the intriguing collaboration, and now it finally sees the light: Static, Ben-El-Tabori and Pitbull are collaborating on the new international song of the duo "Further Up."

This collaboration with the huge international star comes as part of the duo's contract with producer Haim Saban in order to break into the international market. Last year, the duo released several English versions of the hits that burned radio in the country, including a collaboration with star Jay Balvin to sing "Todo Boom".

In addition to the Pitbull rap section, the new song also features a sampling of Ini Kamoze's hit hit Here Comes the Hotstepper from the 1990s and, if not enough stardom, the three also refer to two of the most successful pop, Rihanna and Madonna singers in the song's lyrics.

Two days earlier, another song that used the exact same track, by Daddy Yankee and Nicki Jam, was released. Will the coincidence hurt the chances of the new Static and Ben-El song? time will tell.

Pitbull, the stage name of Armando Christian Perez, is one of the most successful artists in his field, and co-writes and performs dozens of huge hits, including "Rain Over Me," "Hotel Room Service," "Timber," "International Love." It has not been the first time Pitbull has collaborated with Israelis, and the rapper has recorded a song with the Israeli A-WA band.
