Shaggy<\/a>, the album title reflects the mindset he\u2019s carried throughout his nearly three-decade career.<\/p>\n\u201cThe album is called Lottery \u2014 it really represents the journey I’ve been on, always betting on myself,\u201d he shares. \u201cThat’s the only way I’ve gotten through, especially in a game where there’s little support for the genre of music I’m in. Reggae and dancehall haven’t had the same opportunities as other genres, so going against the grain and believing in myself is the only way.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shaggy says the album is meant to take listeners through different emotions and experiences.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith my albums, I like to take fans on a journey,\u201d he adds. \u201cA rollercoaster ride filled with different emotions that build to an eargasmic climax to satisfy their musical palette. All in all, I hope it brings pure entertainment and joy!\u201d<\/p>\n
