Robbo Ranx played the new Hard Beat Riddim by Big Yard yesterday, including Shaggy’s Who A Wear Di Jacket and Rayvon’s Games We Play (which is also on the Stock Track Riddim). I read that a couple of this blog’s readers want to know where you can listen to them again after hearing them on Danny Pepperseed’s Dancehall Vibes or Robbo Ranx’s Dancehall Splurt: if you haven’t heard the new 2007 Shaggy song Jacket or Rayvon’s remix of Games We Play you can listen to it on Tuesday’s Dancehall Splurt until a week from now.

Another new Shaggy song, the Shaggy and Ninja Man combination “A Nuh You, A Nuh Me” tune on the Take Protection Riddim a.k.a. Big Yard riddim (which also features Rayvon Sorry Fi Dem, D-Linx My Girl and Wayne Fire More Gal), is in (some) stores now.

EMS will release a DVD of Shaggy & crew in concert at the Chiemsee Reggae Summer Festival in Germany in 1998. The DVD will also include a CD, a booklet and biographies of the crew. The Shaggy Live at Chiemsee Reggae Summer DVD containing 195 minutes of Shaggadelic material will be available in September. You can order it from German online stores like Amazon.de, DVD Palace and Trade-A-Game. A couple of days ago one video of the festival was uploaded on YouTube, so of course I included it below.

Shaggy will be at two Notting Hill Carnival Afterparties by BBC 1Xtra and Choice FM in two London night clubs (Anon and South) on August 28.

Shaggy might perform at the Notting Hill Carnival from the Rampage Stage on August 27. Nothing has been confirmed yet, but since BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra always broadcast the Notting Hill Carnival live and Shaggy’s concert on the Leeds Reggae Concert on August 26 will also be broadcast live by BBC 1Xtra… there might be two Shaggy concerts streamed online in two days!

Ghana Music has a review of Shaggy’s two day concerts in Accra, Ghana. Shaggy, Rayvon, Marlon Asher a.k.a. “the ganja farmer”, Wayne Mitchell and crews performed at the International Conference Center and the Trade Fair Center combined with a show for the Joy FM Old Schools Reunion. The concerts, which were broadcast live by MTV Base, were a big success. You can read all about it in the article.
