Fantasia Joins 803 Fresh for Strategic Remix of “Boots On The Ground”….
Grammy Award-winning R&B icon Fantasia Barrino has officially been announced as the featured artist on the highly anticipated remix of 803 Fresh’s breakout single “Boots On The Ground.” This collaboration is positioned to not only expand the record’s audience but also solidify its crossover appeal across radio, streaming, and sync markets.
The original “Boots On The Ground” quickly gained traction throughout the Southeast, with strong regional radio support and a growing footprint on streaming platforms. With Fantasia’s powerhouse vocals and global brand recognition, the remix is expected to push the single into broader markets, creating opportunities for national radio placement, playlisting on major DSPs, and increased sync potential across film, TV, and sports programming.
“Fantasia brings both credibility and unmatched star power,” said a spokesperson for 803 Fresh. “This collaboration strategically aligns our grassroots momentum with mainstream visibility, ensuring ‘Boots On The Ground’ reaches audiences far beyond its current base.”
The remix also comes at a pivotal time for both acts:
Fantasia is continuing her momentum following her recent headline performances and critically acclaimed acting projects, making this a strong re-entry into urban contemporary playlists.
803 Fresh is building on viral success and strong engagement within the Carolinas, positioning the group as one of the fastest-rising independent collectives in the South.
The “Boots On The Ground (Remix)” rollout will include an aggressive digital marketing campaign, radio servicing to both rhythmic and urban AC formats, and targeted playlist pitches across Spotify, Apple Music, and Tidal. A visual campaign is also slated to drive further traction across YouTube and social media platforms.
