May 28 - Shaggy live video at Best of the Best 2007 in Miami, Florida and Church Heathen new video pics
The pics and story to the new Church Heathen video. Apparently the video left the church and goes all the way to the Asylum night club, where the church goers have a party. And then, Sunday's live performance videos at the Best of the Best 2007 where Shaggy, Rayvon, Buju Banton, Mavado and more performed.
One of the videos is by Realvibez - that brings me to the question: David, when are you going to upload the Soon Be Done video we talked about?

May 27 - Shaggy interview, Shaggy and Rayvon singing Angel live in Oahu Hawaii
There are some more videos of Shaggy on MySpace which I thought I should mention here. First, there's an interview by Olivea for T Vazo. It's hard to understand what they're saying because of all the background noise, but the visual is excellent and it's interesting to hear some of interview anyway. Secondly, there's another clip of Shaggy, Rayvon and band performing Angel live in Oahu, Hawaii in early May. Enjoy!
May 26 - Two upcoming Shaggy songs and a new video to Church Heathen
Shaggy reshot the video for his #1 hit single Church Heathen, which will be released internationally on June 4th, in the Asylum night club earlier this week in New Kingston, Jamaica. The video is a continuation of the original Church Heathen video, which has gained great popularity in Jamaica and abroad and features dancehall legend Ninja Man as a priest as well as other dancehall stars Baby Cham, Spice, Red Fox and Screechie Dan. The new video opens with a dancing scene, featuring over 150 dancers including Mad Michelle, the Dallas Dancers from Portmore, Timeless Dancers (with Doctor Bird), Black Blingaz (who also made a remix to Church Heathen) and Cadillac Dancers. Jay Will (from Game Over) once again directed the video, so you can expect to see more of it in high quality soon!
Access Entertainment is going to release a definitive version of the Blazing (Blazzin') Riddim by Shaggy's Big Yard label later this week. The riddim will include Goodie Goodie by Screechie Dan, How Does It Feel by Rayvon, The Shaggy & Rayvon Show by Shaggy and Rayvon, Blazing by Red Foxx and a previously unreleased song by Shaggy: Wanna Be.
Shaggy also has a new song on VP Records' Reggae Gold 2007 Bonus DVD, which is called more Woman. You can listen to a preview here. Reggae Gold 2007 which features songs by among others Sean Paul, Cham, Mavado, Elephant Man, Buju Banton, Morgan Heritage, Jah Cure, Gyptian, Tessanne Chin, I-Wayne and Alaine as well, is scheduled for July 12 release.

May 11 2007 - Robbo Ranx ... intoxicated: listen to three Shaggy interviews and a first spin of Shaggy's new song Intoxication off his upcoming album!
I was too tired last night to write something on here last night while Robbo Ranx' show Dancehall Splurt was on BBC 1Xtra, but here it finally is: Robbo Ranx did an interview with Shaggy last night and was the first to play Shaggy's title song on his new upcoming album Intoxication! The riddim sounds hard, the lyrics are baaadd.. basically, Intoxication is a hot hot song!!
"I ain't never gonna drink again
before I take a sip I'm gonna think of when
I had s'ex with my woman best friend
I can't blame intoxication
ain't never gonna drink again
before I take a sip I'm gonna think of when
I had s'ex with a girl I considered a friend
I can't blame intoxication"
Robbo also played Shaggy's tunes on the VIP Riddim, Hear Dis and Rub a Dub We Want, Angel and his big #1 hit Church Heathen (twice), which is currently number one again on the British dancehall charts. Both Shaggy and Robert Livingston, Shaggy's long time manager on Big Yard, confirmed that Shaggy's new single is due on June 4th, which means the album will be in stores in July 2007!
Note: Thursday's Dancehall Splurt will only be up for a week from now, until the next show has been broadcast!
I hadn't linked the interview Robbo did a couple of weeks ago for Dancehall After Dark, and I found the former 1-part interview has been replaced by two parts. So if you wanna hear them or the other interviews Robbo Ranx did with Elephant Man, Sean Paul, Beenie Man and King Jammys, go here, they'll be available for a longer time than last night's interview!
May 10 2007 - Shaggy's new album Intoxication... may even be released as soon as July or August 2007!
Shaggy's reportedly finishing up the last touches on his forthcoming 8th album Intoxication, which he recorded and produced exclusively with his in-house staff and close friends. There'll be one track on the album featuring both Sizzla and Collie Buddz, another one with Akon, one with Voicemail, of course a track featuringRayvon and two other tracks featuring Na'Sha. The latter two tracks are titled Those Are the Days and A Woman's Scorn. Of course, Shaggy's big big hit Church Heathen will also be one of the songs on the album. According to VP Records, which will distribute the new Shaggy cd, Intoxication will be in stores (at least on VP Reggae and iTunes) in August 2007!!
If you want to learn more about Shaggy's upcoming album, you should check out the Kenyan Nation Media's Buzz interview with Shaggy's Big Yard label mate Goldenchyl (GC). Beside working with Beyonce and Shakira (on the Beautiful Liar remix), Foxy Brown, John Legend, Bad Boy P. Diddy, Wyclef Jean and Elephant Man (on Ele's latest single Five O), he also worked with Shaggy on Church Heathen, Broadway, Me and My Boy, Dwayne and another song on Intoxicated. In the interview he tells more about Shaggy's upcoming album - and when I have more time I'll even link two new full Shaggy interviews, both 2 hour's length of Shaggy music and talking!
I found one more video of Shaggy's Hawaiian concerts. So "if you're looking for a man to make you lose control, a man who when you need a friend will fill that roll, be a life blanket when you're feeling cool", then you should watch this video "coz girlfriend, this is your lucky day". I also found a fan made video of Collie Buddz Mega Star Remix of Come Around featuring Shaggy, which of course I put here as well. If you want to listen to the song alone you should visit Collie Buddz' MySpace.Enjoy!

Feb 21 - Charity concert series
According to a recent interview, Shaggy's most important goal for this year is going to be organizing a concert series to help out the Bustamente's Children Hospital in Kingston, Jamaica. The hospital has been on Shaggy's charities list for years now and Shaggy has given the hospital a lot of equipment. He has paid a lot of visits to the children's wards and has included other artists such as Sean Paul, Baby Cham, Rik Rok and Christopher Martin in recent charity events.
Feb 9 - Shaggy's new NY & Jamaica#1 hit
Church Heathen, Shaggy's latest thought-provoking and controversial hard-hitting release, is both the number 1 dancehall song in Jamaica and New York. It's his sixth hit to occupy the highest position on the dancehall charts after hits as Boombastic, Hey Sexy Lady and Your Eyes and his international number 1 songs such as Oh Carolina, It Wasn't Me and Angel. The song is available for purchase at i-Tunes and SNOCAP.
Feb 07 2007 - Temptation Island 2007 - Darkest Secrets - SHAGGITIZED!
Temptation Island has never been this hot! Not only will this year's show be shot in the sunny and laid-back Jamaica, none less than Mr Lover Lover himself, Shaggy, will be playing the ultimate seducer for one of the 10 very lucky ladies. That's right, watch Veronica or VT4 this spring, to see the Boombastic One put on his moves in front of the cameras once again. The cameras are in the house, Shaggy's in the house, the ladies are in the house ... none will be able to claim "it wasn't me"!
Temptation Island 2007 - Darkest Secrets - starting March 2007.
New album coming Fall 2007
Shaggy and his crew are putting the final touches on his new - still untitled - album, that will be a successor to Hot Shot, Boombastic, Clothes Drop, Pure Pleasure and many more successfull and groundbreaking records. For this album, Shaggy has gotten back together with his old Brooklyn friends Red Foxx and Screechie Dan. His Big Yard friends Rayvon and Rik Rok will also be featured on the album. The album will continue in the dancehall / reggae style of Reggae Vibes, Brooklyn and Jamaica Remix and not-to-forget his big #1 hit in Jamaica Church Heathen.
Jan 28 2007 - Sao Paolo Concert
I'm not sure whether there is any truth to this concert update or not, since I didn't think the Vengaboys are still performing so the whole "news" on Last FM about the concert might be a fabrication, but if it's true: Shaggy, the Black Eyed Peas, the Vengaboys, Ian Van Dahl, Lasgo, Legião Urbana and Engenheiros do Hawaii are scheduled to perform in Sao Paolo, Brazil on May 7th 2007. That certainly is one show I wish I could be at ;-)
New layout
My graphics program kept crashing on the layout I had been working on before, so I postponed uploading it and made this one instead. I really like it as well even though it needs some more adjustments and it's just meant as a temporary fix. Like it?
New stuff
I'm working very hard on the site offline, but it's not going great since I'm not getting the graphics and css completely in accordance. It's so weird, I did a couple of commercial css projects some time ago and I already forgot (lol IE s*cks). Anyway, I added a favicon and here's what the site will sort of look like in the near future ;-)
I still have one exam to go this week and then I'll have some more time to work on the site. So unless I still don't get all coding right, there's gonna be some heavy updating on here soon ;-)
We're back!
Yay... the site is back on great hosting facilities! I have to rewrite all old content, get a new lay-out up and dig deep into my html, css and php knowledge and I'm still in the middle of my exams, so check back later for lots more. Expect nothing less than the d#mn best Shaggy site around with more info and other stuff than you've ever seen anywhere online!
