Shaggy, Jimmy Cliff and Wyclef Jean entertained the audience at the Metro World Concert in Washington D.C. on June 19, among whom were US Secrety of State Condoleeza Rice and Jamaican Prime Minister Portia Miller. Condoleeza Rice visibly enjoyed the concert and was seen moving to Shaggy’s performance of Luv Me Luv Me. Jamaican PM Portia Miller was singing along to Strength of a Woman and Oh Carolina, and Shaggy shouted “Big up PM” to her during the concert. More? @ the Washington Post and Hard Beat News.

Shaggy’s new song Move Hype, that was broadcast on BBC Radio 1Xtra and KISS FM a couple of weeks ago, will be released on the Panty Town riddim, which was produced by Sting International and also includes songs by Daville, Collie Buddz and Screechie Dan. Here’s a preliminary track list of the promo album:

1. Daville – Fing It up pon Mi
2. Screechie Dan – Panty Town
3. Collie Buddz and Roach – Searching
4. Shaggy – Yuh a Move Hype

You can listen to all tunes on Sting Intl’s Myspace.

I’m still gonna get you a good link to listen to Shaggy & Ninja Man “A Nuh U, A Nuh Me” (unless you settle for buying it from a Finnish radio station which apparently is allowed to sell it already), but in the meantime I found a 20 questions Shaggy interview for you.

Part 1: What kept him in the music industry for ten years and more? Plus: Shaggy prefers collaborating with Rayvon to recording duets with other big stars and his favourite song to this date is Strength of a Woman.
Part 2: Church Heathen off his upcoming album Intoxication will be released July 4th. What’s the single about? And what countries does he get the best response from during concerts?
Part 3: Did Shaggy ever get caught on the bathroom floor? Where does he live? How many cars does he own? Who’s his dream girl? (How about Drew Barrimore?) What does Shaggy mean to the ladies?
Part 4: About spending a lot of $$ on jewellery. What does he think about Ali G and Borat? Is he still in touch with Sacha Baron Cohen? What does a typical Shaggy day mean?

Big Yard released a promo of a very new Shaggy song a couple of days ago: it’s Shaggy featuring Ninja Man: A Nuh U, A Nuh Me! The song was produced by Shaggy’s manager, Robert Livingston, for the Big Yard Music Group.

It was on radio stations in England, Finland, Holland and Germany so far and I’m trying to get you a decent link for the song. So stay tuned for that! In the meantime, I linked a fan video of Shaggy’s new song on the Reggae Gold 2007 album More Woman as well as Shaggy’s performance on Michael Jackson’s 30th anniversary concert which has celebrities like Michael Jackson, Macauly Caulkin, Liza Minelli and several others rocking to Shaggy featuring Rik Rok – It Wasn’t Me. More?

Shaggy will be performing alongside Wyclef Jean, the Ska-Talites and Plunky & Oneness on the Kennedy Center’s South Plaza Stage in Washington on June 19. This event is staged in conjunction with the “Conference on the Caribbean,” and precedes the annual DC Caribbean Carnival. More info.

Shaggy, who will soon release his new album Intoxication which includes his big #1 hit Church Heathen, performed at the Best of the Best concert in Miami, Florida, which is pretty much obvious even if you have only been following this site. Well, there are a couple of more videos of the festival online, including Big Up, It Wasn’t Me en Angel. Do you wanna watch them?

Shaggy, Enrique Iglesias, Jojo, XZibit, Kelly Rowland, Sophie-Ellis Bextor, Rufus Wainwright and Good Charlotte among others, are helping MTV Networks International to generate attention for MTV Switch, a major climate change campaign aimed at slowing down the rate of global warming by encouraging their viewers to lower their carbon emissions and help save the planet.

The campaign is designed to reach an audience of 1.5 billion people world wide across the MTV network of 55 local TV channels in 162 countries. Among others, a “green” Pimp My Ride special will air and also Nickelodeon will participate by showing kids what they can do to help decrease their family’s energy consumption.

MTV produced PSA s (Public Service Anouncements) to connect with the audiences and show them how they can help lower their energy emission. The PSAs can be used by all other broadcasters free of costs and rights to serve this cause. The campaign will encourage people to visit the yet to launch MTV Switch web site.

Every time I go online I seem to find some more Shaggy in Dubai stuff. This time it’s something especially good: a video of the press conference! Shaggy was being his very charming self and answering questions as to what people can expect from his concert, the reason why he’s releasing a new album (Intoxication), the record company shizzles, what kind of person he is and more.

There’s also one more Dubai pre-concert article featured (I had seen it before but it looked so much the same as another article I had already linked), with two other pictures of Shaggy at the press conference and some more of what he told the press. “It’s all about the song”, he says.

“I have worked under five different record labels over the years which has resulted in a bumpy ride. But I was never willing to compromise the music for a look or policy. I’ve always stood by my songs and am proud to say that I have made it work and stayed true to myself.”

And last but not least there are also three new videos online of Shaggy’s performance in Dubai, at the Life Music Festival on June 7 2007 in the Madinat Areena. You can see Shaggy perform It Wasn’t Me and Boombastic (though the sound quality of the Boombastic video is pretty bad) and interact with the crowd.

I bet you wanna see this.

As you read earlier, Shaggy’s currently in Dubai for his concert tonight at the Life Music Festival at the Madinat Areena, Madinat Jumeirah. Zawya has a promo for the concert with a new Shaggy pic from the press conference. What’s fun about the article, is that you can also download it in PDF format, including the pic.

Robbo Ranx played a dub version of Shaggy’s Church Heathen of Shaggy’s upcoming 2007 album Intoxication on the Tuesday Dancehall Splurt once again yesterday. You can listen to it here until next week’s show is up.
