Shabba Ranks – Champion

“Champion” is a new Shabba Ranks single issued on September 4, 2026, through Bulby York Music, with Emperor Ranks Entertainment sharing the release rights. It is a true one-track release rather than a riddim package or catalogue reissue: the digital edition runs 3: 04 and places Shabba at the front of the record, while Bulby York is credited alongside him in the artist metadata. That distinction matters here. The title may suggest an old-school dancehall archive cut, but this is presented as a current release with its own 2026 identity.

Shabba’s contribution is the vocal centre: the listing gives him sole title billing, preserving the direct artist-and-song framing expected of a single. Bulby York’s role is different but equally visible in the release presentation, connecting the track to a producer whose name has long appeared in Jamaican recording credits and now sits beside Shabba’s on the digital release. Bulby York Music is the label imprint carrying the record, while Emperor Ranks Entertainment is attached to the rights line.

There is no expanded edition, guest appearance or alternate mix attached to this release. “Champion” arrives as a concise new entry in Shabba Ranks’ 2026 run, with the credits kept tight around the veteran deejay and Bulby York’s production camp.
