I-Octane will cap his great 2010 with the release of his first album, "Crying to the Nation", due this autumn.
An album of 14 songs, including some of his hits (My Life, Lose a friend) but also several original tracks, among them a duet with Tarrus Riley produced by DJ Frass, and productions by Jeremy Harding, Dean Fraser, Christopher Birch and Don Corleon.
Robert Livingston, Shaggy's former manager, is executive producer. Initially announced for this summer, the release of this first album has been pushed back to October.
