Clothes Drop
The highest selling dancehall and Grammy Award wining artist Shaggy returns with his 6th album, Clothes Drop. In his extraordinary career, he's done several rounds of major heavy lifting for his brand of music, helping to stake, and even re-build, the global profile of dancehall reggae over the last decade and more. The first worldwide reggae crossover record to come out of the New York dancehall underground was Shaggy's 'Oh Carolina'. Then, his platinum album and single Boombastic came at a time when the early fusion of hip-hop and computer-style dancehall was well past its creative peak. More recently, Shaggy recorded the most successful dancehall reggae album in history, the 10-million plus selling Hot Shot. Clothes Drop is a non-stop boomshot of an album, a varied and invigorating explosion of tough rhythms, with Shaggy's unique rough-and-smooth toasts devoted to music, women, fun, and even, at the appropriate moment, the spirit.
