Jamaican born Shaggy (Orville Richard Burrell) is the dancehall/reggae singer who is noted for his distinctive, raspy sub-baritone voice. His primary success has come from his third studio album Boombastic (1995), which produced the No.1 (UK) single "Boombastic", but it was his fifth studio album Hot Shot (2000) that proved the most successful with the misogynistic hit single "It Wasn't Me". Featuring the guest vocals of singer RikRok, the song tells of advice from one friend to another to just deny it when his girlfriend catches him with another woman. The single was Shaggy's first No.1 hit in the US. He followed it up with the single "Angel" this time with guest vocalist Rayvon, it also reached No.1 and helped Hot Shot achieve multi-platinum status. In September 2007 Shaggy released his eighth studio album Intoxication, on his own record label Big Yard Records.
