NEW YORK (Top40 Charts/ Big Yard/ VP Records) - Dancehall superstar Shaggy returns with 'Intoxication,' out October 16 on Big Yard/VP. With over 20 million albums sold worldwide, 'Intoxication' is full of bangers sure to make the club jump off from Kingston to Flatbush. Before becoming a multi-platinum, Grammy-winning superstar, Shaggy was a Jamaican teenager sneaking out of the house to rub-a-dub at the club, and 'Intoxication' proudly displays these beginnings. 'Intoxication' is also Shaggy's first album with legendary grassroots label VP. Though Big Yard and VP have a long-standing working relationship, both felt now was the time to finally release an album together.

'While creating the album I wasn't signed to any particular label so I didn't have the usual A&R interference into my creative process." says Shaggy of the album's recording process. "That's what I was trying to get back to with 'Intoxication' - both hardcore dancehall and reggae. It's a climatic musical roller coaster ride for all to enjoy. So strap yourself in and get ready for the ride of your life."

The album kicks off with the banging "Can't Hold Me," where Shaggy announces his return over jumping electro-tinged production. First single "Bonafide Girl" is a classic Shaggy dancehall-pop combo with a sweet hook, reuniting Shaggy with "It Wasn't Me" collaborator Rik Rok and adding Tony Gold to the potent mix. 'Out Of Control,' a sexy danceclub ode to women on the dancefloor, features the hitmaking connection of Shaggy and Rayvon, best known for the hit single 'Angel.'

"Church Heathen," already a club favorite and chart topper in Jamaica, features a pounding rhythm and monk like chants over which Shaggy weaves a tale of a church congregation's hypocrisy. Preachers dip into the collection basket for Benz payments and women doing the Dutty Wine Saturday night look for salvation on Sunday. The songs lively video has also taken off, featuring a cameo from DJ slayer Ninjaman.

High-profile collaborations with hitmaker Akon and red hot dancehall rising star Collie Buddz grace the album as well. Akon adds a silky smooth chorus to "What's Love," as Shaggy deliberates leaving his girl for all the wrong reasons. Collie Buddz, along with dancehall legend Sizzla, bring pure fire to "Mad Mad World," a bouncing track that warns to not let societies social ills bring the world down with them.
