Very rare Shaggy song: Shaggy – Sponger (1990)!

Rare 1990 Shaggy song: Sponger!
Now let’s take it back to 1990, when Shaggy was recording music while he was still in the Marines. This was long before he had his first hits with Oh Carolina, Big Up, Bombastic, Angel and more and before he recorded his first album Pure Pleasure. Shaggy showed his dj talent and skills in these early recordings already!

Listen to a very, very rare Shaggy song… it’s Shaggy’s early 1990 recording Sponger, produced by Jimmy Roots for Blue Mountain Records! Unity & Justice by Marshall One & Premo and the version are also featured on the vinyl and in the audio below. Check it out!

VERY RARE 1990 song: Shaggy – Sponger

Big up to Mastahpiece!

Sneak peek: Shaggy feat. Tarrus Riley – Just Another Girl!

Sneak peek: Shaggy feat. Tarrus Riley – Just Another Girl
Check Shaggy’s official Facebook for a link to a sneak peek of one of the tracks on the awesome upcoming album Summer in Kingston and an interview about the album title, the Sugarcane video and more! Wow!

Shaggy just tweeted: “Summer in Kingston sneak peek listen to “Just Another Girl” ft. Tarrus Riley on Boomshots!”

Just Another Girl is the extra-heavy lead cut off Shaggy’s Summer In Kingston, which is set to be released on July 19 on iTunes and other digital outlets only! Just Another Girl features the great Tarrus Riley. Singy Singy reprises a classic Ken Boothe hook—with its haunting contradiction of trying to get over a girl while you’re still singing about her—and the DJ’s skills are on point as usual. You can front on Shaggy if you like, but reggae’s biggest living hit-maker just keeps knockin’ them out the park. Run that!
