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," as well as a hot duet with singer
Wayne Wonder on
"Something Different." Despite a silly cover of
"Day Oh," Boombastic keeps the funky
reggae coming and is
Shaggy's best album to date.
