On November 12th, 2017, I had the opportunity to watch Shaggy<\/strong><\/a> headline the third and final day of Cocoa, Florida\u2019s second annual, Rootfire at the Park.<\/p>\n

(cue “dreamy reminiscence” music)<\/p>\n

Shaggy<\/strong> was the face of reggae in the early 90\u2019s. Even though his popularity reached its peak in the early 2000\u2019s, he can still draw a crowd of established fans as well a new generation of fans.<\/p>\n

His set was opened up by New York based, reggae-dancehall group, RSNY<\/a><\/strong>, and he kicked off his set with his hit \u201cMr. Boombastic.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

That was also the kick-off to rehashes of my middle school and high school days when that song played on the radio, and I\u2019d make my mixtapes. The flashbacks continued as he performed his other hits such as \u201cLuv me, Luv me\u201d which originally featured Janet Jackson, and his set would not have been complete without \u201cWasn\u2019t Me\u201d<\/em> and \u201cAngel\u201d<\/em>. In addition to his classic hits, he performed some of his newer tracks, among those, my personal favorite \u201cI Need Your Love\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n

As a teenager who grew up in the 90s and early 2000\u2019s, to have watched Shaggy<\/strong> perform live for the first time in my adult life, this was a real treat, which I will never forget!<\/p>\n

Be sure to catch Shaggy<\/strong> on tour. He\u2019s currently getting ready to kick off 2018 in New Zealand and Australia.<\/p>\n
