Moroccan-born, Bronx-bred rapper French Montana made a name for himself in the underground rap circuit, putting out 'Shot Caller' last year without a label home to call his own. He subsequently released an accompanying video, got hot in the streets and Diddy signed him to Bad Boy Records. Now the 27-year-old rhymer is giving fans the remix video to his popular track, and staying somewhat true to the remix formula by adding some new verses from Diddy and Rick Ross and a surprise interpolation.

In the clip, directed by respected director Colin Tilley, Diddy opens with "It's time we light this b---- up," as images of burning sneakers, a masked woman lighting up a cigar and flaming bottles of Ciroc appear. Montana begins his signature verse on the track followed by Diddy, who spits lyrics over his 1997 hit 'It's All About the Benjamins,' from his 'No Way Out' LP.

Cassie shows up with her shaved head and bops around for a few and DJ Khaled makes a cameo before Rick Ross delivers his sharp lines in the black-and-white video.
