Summer in Kingston
I just wanted to create a real feel good album, when you’ve been doing it for as much time I as I have, you want to re-invent and do something that still lives. It’s a digital album and the best part is, I’m giving you a recession price – $2.99! A sign of a appreciation more so than anything, I just wanted to get everybody back, involved, feelin’ it and lovin’ it.

Next year: physical cd release with more songs to be added!
It’s a 2 year project that we are having, we will eventually put the hard copy out with more tracks to it. At the moment there are 8.

UK end of the decade charts!
Shaggy and Rik Rok’s huge hit It Wasn’t Me is the #1 selling R&B single in the UK of the 2000s! It also is the highest selling non-tv shows single of the decade and the #1 selling single of 2001. The Shaggy & Rayvon single Angel is in the top selling singles of 2001 as well and comes in at #10. Wow, what an achievement!
