Shaggy recently shot the video for his soon-to-be-released single “Broadway”. This song, from his new album Clothes Drop, pays homage to one of Dancehall’s original rude bwoys, Barrington Levy. The video, shot by director Jason Williams, took place in Manhattan’s Negril Village Restaurant and featured cameos from Reggae’s finest.

Look good in the crowd and you’ll see everyone from Camille McDonald of “America’s Next Top Model” fame to Irie Jam’s Bobby Clarke and “Spread Love” Bobby to Hot 97’s Bobby Konders and Jabba. Big Yard artist, Ky-Enie, was in full effect, soaking up the sunshine from some of the Caribbean’s most beautiful models and dancers. The hype was definitely on in the West Village with video cameras from MTV’s new Caribbean station Tempo and LinkUp Media’s Plush TV catching the spontaneous action of dancers like Ding Dong, Spike Dancers, and the Active Crew.

This collaboration allows Shaggy to come full circle in his music. In the early 90’s, Barrington Levy was a headliner on Shaggy’s very first stage show. The two of them working together now is “natural”, says Shaggy. While the taping lasted well into the next morning, an exhausted Jay Will promised that all the hard work will be “well worth it”. The Clothes Drop album debuted three weeks ago at the #2 spot on the Billboard Reggae Album Chart, and the first single “Wild 2Nite” is topping the charts in Europe. The video is expected to hit a cable station near you in mid-November.
