KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) - Shaggy has recorded a new song with a diverse
Caribbean cast to raise money for earthquake survivors in Haiti.
The
song is called "Rise Again" and was written by the Jamaican reggae
rapper.
It features fellow Jamaican reggae star Sean Paul,
Haitian musician Belo and soca singers Alison Hinds of Barbados and
Destra Garcia from Trinidad and Tobago.
Shaggy said Tuesday the
song lets Haitians know that "we are here for them." It is part of a
relief fund established by mobile phone company Digicel.
The
7.0-magnitude quake on Jan. 12 killed an estimated 200,000 people in
Haiti.
Shaggy is best known for the 2000 hit "It Wasn't Me."
