Sean Paul Gears Up For Fourth Album

Sean Paul is indeed back on the juggling case with ferocity, voicing a number of new tunes after an extended absence. Rumors of a new album in the works for later this year are circulating along with a barrage of new 45s and guest verses.

This has caught the attention of many since the reggae/dancehall superstar has broken every record imaginable for a reggae artiste which makes whatever he does an all-important signal for anybody who cares about the direction of dancehall as an industry and an art form.

His current projects include back to back appearances on the Sand-Fly riddim produced by Leftside. The tracks include his solo outing Grip which is a throwback to Sean Paul flow of old, and the Shane-O combination Girls Territory. Two more combinations, Back it Up and As Far As I See, with Mr. Evil/Leftside and Wayne Marshall respectively, shows Sean's prowess on new-school musical flows. More importantly they demonstrate Sean's consistent tendency of collaborating with the finest in Jamaican talent, even though he could work with basically anybody in the world.

Sean Paul has also been working with Stephen 'Genius' McGregor, one of the only producers whose riddims he has been blessing for the last year or two. Get it Right on the Power Cut and Don't Tease Me on the Work Out Riddim are two of the finest singles to date coupled with Serious, SP's collaboration with Busta Rhymes and Busy Signal.

Running Out of Time is simply a Sean solo, doing what he does best. However his collaboration with Fahrenheit, his lyrical sparring partner, on the track Hit Em is definitely one to vibe to. The song also features Sean's brother aka Jigzagula which adds a hip hop twist to the mix. With all his tracks getting frequent airplay, it is no doubt that Sean Paul will be making summer a little hotter.
