Words by Jesse Serwer—
Mr. Bombastic hasn’t been this ubiquitous since he was claiming “It Wasn’t Me.” On NBC’s Today Show, performing with the Roots and Rahzel at the Okayplayer Holiday Jam—it seems like Shaggy has been everywhere lately. As some of you may know, this weekend he’s in Kingston for his annual Shaggy & Friends charity concert, an event that promises to be bigger than ever thanks to the involvement of Ms. Lauryn Hill. Last night, he stopped into The Tonight Show to give Jay Leno and his infamous chin a rare taste of Caribbean flavor, performing “Dame” (from last year’s digital Summer in Kingston EP, which finally gets a physical release next month) with “Whine Up” singer Kat DeLuna in tow. Watch the video here, and check out our LargeUp TV footage of Shaggy rocking with Rahzel, hyping up Patra, and dropping “Nice and Lovely” with Rayvon and the Roots, all from last month’s holiday jam.
