Among the many peaks and valleys international reggae/pop superstar Shaggy experienced in the '90s was having to rebound from being dropped by Virgin Records following a run of worldwide smash singles. Following a widely successful comeback with MCA via 2000's HOTSHOT, the multi-talented Jamaican returned with the dancehall-oriented HOTSHOT ULTRAMIX. The 12 songs featured on this groove-driven outing cover Shaggy's most recent work, and are highlighted by a pair of remixes for his big hit "It Wasn't Me". The Cartel Mix is given a hip-hop spin by rhyme merchants Ricardo "Rik Rok" Ducent, Nucci Rey O, and Wiz Dinero while the Punch Mix cleaves more closely to the original. Throughout, Shaggy's various musical tastes are amply displayed. Muted trumpet and subtle jazz nuances give the Players Mix of "Chica Bonita" a smooth flow while a seamless sample of "Shake Your Body Down To The Ground" defines the infectious "Dance & Shout". Elsewhere, unobtrusive string arrangements enhance Shaggy's duet with Robin on the scintillating "Too Hot To Handle" before this set wraps up with a live version of "Angel", Shaggy's smash fusion of Chip Taylor's "Angel Of The Morning" and Steve Miller's "The Joker" featuring longtime running buddy Rayvon.
