Shaggy Reminds Us Of His Accomplishments On “Mi Nuh Know” (@DiRealShaggy)

Posted on March 26, 2022 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

International recording artist Shaggy has just dropped an aggressive new single titled Mi Nuh Know. It’s a remake of Eek-A-Mouse‘s earlier hit Wah Do Dem; but done in a more forceful manner.

In the first two verses Shaggy sings about what the average male dancehall artist would talk about: women. However, in the third verse his message changes from one of fun to what can be described as anger. Here he reminds listeners of his musical accomplishments, which are quite significant.

The song’s official video – done by Jay Will – also reflects the above energy and vibe.
