It keeps getting better and better for Jamaican music Icon Shaggy. In the past few years, you could find the GRAMMY winning artist’s music playing in some of your favourite movies, commercials, and even TV shows. Earlier this year, his classic “It Wasn’t Me” was featured in a Cheetos commercial for Super Bowl LV, and now we find his music in the new Netflix series, “Ginny & Georgia“!

In season one of “Ginny & Georgia”, not only was “It Wasn’t Me” featured in the debut episode, but his “Luv Me Luv Me” collaboration with Samantha Cole was featured in episode 6. Originally featured on Shaggy’s 2000 Diamond selling album “Hot Shot“, the artist continues to show that when you make good music, it will live on. “It Wasn’t Me” was released in 2000, and has moved on from being a Billboard charting single, to now being a part of Pop Culture, and becoming a staple in movies and TV shows. Originally released in 1998, “Luv Me Luv Me” originally featured Pop Icon Janet Jackson, and was featured on the soundtrack for “How Stella Got Her Groove Back“. Due to label politics, the single had to be re-recorded and released as a single in 2001 with Pop Artist Samantha Cole as the original was not allowed to be featured on the “Hot Shot” album. “Ginny & Georgia” is a Netflix “Dramedy” series that follows teenager Ginny Miller, and her interactions and display of maturity with her 30 year old mother, Georgia. Kaya Pino is the Music Supervisor behind the series’ soundtrack.

Earlier, the Recording Academy announced their many nominations for the 2021 GRAMMYs. From Pop to Bluegrass to Hip Hop, the world got a chance to see if their faves would be called up to possibly snag the golden award come January 2021. The “Best Reggae Album” category saw an interesting lineup this time around, and while there was celebration, there was some disappointed. The “Best Reggae Album” nominations are:

While many were hoping for acts like Protoje, Lila Ike, and Popcaan getting called up this year with their respective projects, Chronixx scored a nom for his appearance of Free Nationals’ 2019 self-titled album, Producer Stephen “Di Genius” McGregor and Koffee grab another one for their contributions on John Legend’s “Bigger Love” album, Noah Powa, Shaggy, Inner Circle, and Bounty Killa score noms for their appearance on Maxi Priest’s album while Skip Marley adds two more nominations for his H.E.R. featured single “Slow Down“, and his appearance on The Wailers’ “One World” album.

Passing through the series is International Recording Artist/Jamaican Icon Shaggy. In one of the features, he shares his love for Sidewalks with the Monster friends in the form of a song. The Grammy winning Artist is stranger to being a part of content for kids as he recently played in the live version of Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” as Sebastian the Crab.

The Wait Is Over For @DiRealShaggy @OfficialSting’s “Don’t Make Me Wait” Video!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Recording Artists Shaggy and Sting are pretty busy these days. From showing up at The Grammys, to Hot 97, to even Super Bowl 52, they’re making their presence felt in 2018. With their joint Album “44/876” on the way, they don’t want you to wait too long for it. Funny enough, they’ve released the visual for the single people were waiting a while for, “Don’t Make Me Wait“. Directed by famed Director Gil Green, and shot in Kingston, the duo can be seen passing through Fleet Street, jamming away in Half Way Tree, drinking and shooting Pool at a Bar, and ending it with an appearance at a Street Dance. While some of the video is a bit cliche, we’re treated to a very colourful visual for a dope song. If “Don’t Make Me Wait” is a hit, we can’t wait to hear the rest of the project come April 20. For now, check out the video below!

.@DiRealShaggy & @OfficialSting Perform “Don’t Make Me Wait” At 60th Grammys!

Posted on by swadedavillain

The 60th Grammy Awards event was a memorable one for many. While some went home with awards, there were others who got “robbed“, and others performed and made an impact. It was all fun when Host James Corden teamed up with International Recording Artists Shaggy and Sting for a special version of “Carpool Karaoke“. With the location of the Grammys being in New York, they took it to the Subway to perform a 3 man version of Shaggy and Sting’s new single, “Don’t Make Me Wait“. The performance was met with boos however as passengers weren’t enjoying Corden’s contribution. Being persistent, Corden continued to perform with them only to end up with a bloody nose.

The 2nd half of Shaggy & Sting’s appearance found them being introduced at the Grammys by Corden for a real performance of their new single. It first kicked off with Sting performing his classic “Englishman In New York” which followed by Shaggy appearing onstage later. With many mistaking Shaggy for Rapper Jim Jones because of his appearance, the performance was an awesome one, and definitely had people looking forward to their “44/876” project which has a April 20 release date. Check out the videos below!

@DiRealShaggy’s “Boombastic” Featured In New @Chase Commercial!

Posted on by swadedavillain

Feeling like it’s 1995 again, “Mr. Lover Lover” a.k.a. Shaggy, had a song featured in one the latest commercials for US Banking giant, JP Morgan Chase Bank. The Commercial, promoting planning for Retirement, featured Shaggy’s 1995 hit, “Boombastic (Get It Here)” which provided the soundtrack to the 30 second clip. The single was previously featured in a 2015 Tide Commercial from the Philippines and has come a long way since being featured in a Commercial for Levi’s Jeans. “Boombastic” was the 2nd track and single off Shaggy’s Grammy winning album of the same name which went on to sell over a million copies in the US. Watch the video below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
