Breakout rapper Shanti Dope surprised his fans Friday with a collaboration with American pop singer Sabrina Carpenter, ahead of her visit to the Philippines this month.

On Facebook, record label MCA Music shared a snippet of a version of Carpenter's latest single, "Almost Love," featuring Shanti Dope rapping verses in Tagalog.

Carpenter intially released "Almost Love" as a single in June, followed by a music video in July.

That original version did not feature Shanti Dope's part.
