803 Fresh & Fantasia Join Forces on ‘Boots on the Ground (Remix)’
Performing Live at Harlem-Staple Melba’s Block Party.
Southern Soul breakout star 803 Fresh takes his #1 Billboard hit “Boots on the Ground” to new heights with the release of the highly anticipated remix featuring powerhouse vocalist Fantasia.
Dropping today , “Boots on the Ground (Remix)” breathes new life into the viral anthem and dance challenge that has captivated audiences worldwide.
The electrifying collaboration unites two Carolina natives—803 Fresh, hailing from Wagner, SC, and Fantasia, a proud High Point, NC native. Together, they infuse the record with an explosive blend of Southern grit, gospel fire, and undeniable soul power.
In speaking of the collaboration, 803 Fresh states, “This remix is Carolina Soul at its strongest. Fantasia brought a whole new level of energy, passion, and fire to the track. It’s an anthem for the people, and I couldn’t think of anyone better to help me take it there.” Fantasia adds, “The moment I heard ‘Boots on the Ground’ I knew it was special. Performing it with 803 felt like a full-circle moment—two Carolina voices representing where we’re from and taking it to the world.”
Since its debut, “Boots on the Ground” has grown from a regional favorite into a global cultural phenomenon. The track not only soared to the top of the Billboard charts but also inspired a viral dance challenge that swept across TikTok, Instagram, and live stages worldwide.
Celebrity fans and supporters have amplified the momentum—including Michelle Obama, Tina Knowles, Kamala Harris, Gabrielle Union, Dwyane Wade, Ciara, Shaquille O’Neal, and Niecy Nash—while Beyoncé’s high-profile mash-up of the song with “Heated” during her Cowboy Carter Tour cemented it as a generational anthem.
Additionally, fans in New York will have a chance to experience the movement live when 803 Fresh performs live at Harlem-staple Melba’s Block Party ““Open Streets”” this Saturday, August 23rd. The community celebration will also feature a special guest performance by rising R&B artist ROE, debuting her latest single “Pull Up (Drop),” which pays tribute to the late, great Fatman Scoop.
