Shaggy
Shaggy's fourth album is a classic hybrid of reggae, R&B, and pop. Following duets with Maxi Priest ("That Girl") and Janet Jackson ("Luv Me, Luv Me"), the Jamaica native teams up with master producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and a myriad of talented guest vocalists who complement his personality on each track. Coming with the minor hit "Hope" ...

by
Shaggy
Boombastic confirmed Shaggy's status as one of the most popular dancehall acts of the '90s, and for good reason -- the record is an infectiously entertaining collection of deep, funky grooves that celebrates good times. Featuring the major hit title track, the album also sports a great guest appearance by Grand Puba on "Why You Treat Me So Bad," ...

Various Artists
It was inevitable that a comedy about a Jamaican bobsled team would have a reggae soundtrack. What is surprising is that it is so enjoyable in a light, unforced way. Worl-A-Girl note the unlikeliness of Jamaica having a bobsled team; Diana King covers Bob Marley's "Stir It Up"; and Wailing Souls cover Talking Heads' "Wild Wild Life." Best of all ...

Snow
Snow's third album finds him slowly emerging from the sophomore slump of his underwhelming Murder Love, but still not delivering any hit singles to rival the success of "Informer," from his debut. By now it's clear that he is more than just a novelty act, but he is still struggling to define a sound for himself that is something more than a hybrid ...

Beenie Man
The world became a better place when Beenie Man released "Dude," the steamy rump shaker with a sting in its tail that kicks off the man's return to dancehall, Back to Basics. The 99.9 percent dancehall album makes 2002's star-studded Tropical Storm sound like an overly planned showcase as it trades Janet Jackson and the Neptunes for Jimmy ...

Bounty Killer
In the '90s, Bounty Killer was a prime example of someone who illustrated reggae's generation gap. Many 35-and-over Jamaicans expressed their disdain for his controversial gun talk and wondered why their kids didn't embrace "real" reggae like Desmond Dekker or Jimmy Cliff (just as many African-American baby boomers didn't understand why their kids ...

by
Shaggy
Like bootlegs and collections of outtakes, remix albums are not meant to convert non-believers; they make money by preaching to the choir. And in the case of Hot Shot Ultramix, the choir is Shaggy's hardcore fans -- people who bought 1997's Midnite Lover and 2000's Hot Shot the minute they came out. The primary focus of this 2002 release is ...

Reggae, decades after its emergence, remains an overwhelmingly male-dominated domain, and the dancehall subgenre, in particular, has demonstrated a forceful resistance to allowing women into the club. Alongside Lady Saw, Ce'Cile, J.C. Lodge, and scarce few others, Tanya Stephens has emerged over the past decade as a leader in closing the gender ...

Elephant Man
The crimson-crowned Elephant Man represents a school of dancehall music that's so filled with Jamaican slang, so rough and raucous, and in many ways, so insider that his R&B or hip-hop crossover potential is limited. Give him a guest shot on your urban cut and he's a benefit, but it's only a matter of time before the man they call "Energy God" is ...

by
Shaggy
Trying to please everyone, Shaggy knocks an excellent album down to just a very good one by overstuffing the otherwise inspired Clothes Drop with bland filler. An hour plus, the album contains 40 to 50 minutes of inspired Shaggy with the swashbuckling singer dividing his time between swaggering business as usual and surprisingly non-pop, non-slick ...

Sanchez
Sanchez is Jamaica's heartthrob and one of the island's most consistent recording artists, but he remains a nonentity in the States. This best-of compilation offers a big dose of what non-Sanchez fans have been missing. "One in a Million" is a melodic, midtempo number that sounds like a hit from the first note, Sanchez's honeyed but strident voice ...

Reggae had a big year in 2003. Sean Paul had two huge single smashes, "Gimme the Light" and the number one "Get Busy," Wayne Wonder hit big with "No Letting Go," and Steven Lenky Marsden's Diwali rhythm was the beat of the year. Reggae Gold 2003 rounds up 16 of the biggest reggae hits of the first half of 2003. Sean Paul's monolithic "Get Busy" is ...

Having showcased his talents on Maestro, Beenie Man along with executive producer Patrick Roberts no longer felt the need to overwhelm audiences with a smorgasbord of sound, and thus Many Moods of Moses is a more coherent set than its predecessor.

This 150-minute, two-disc set is one of the best overviews of classic reggae available. Volume 1 focused on ska and rock steady tracks from the 1960s, and this one consists primarily of material from the '70s and '80s, reggae's classic period. Though Trojan has a reputation for mediocre production quality and shady business dealings with its ...

Sony Legacy dipped into the archives and pulled out a fistful of Ranks' most popular cuts for this compilation. Culled from the five albums the DJ recorded for Epic between 1991 and 1995, Greatest Hits is obviously aimed at American fans. There again, the label gave Ranks an incredibly long leash, allowing him to record in Jamaica with the island ...
