Apache Indian, the British reggae deejay born Steven Kapur, let "Boom Shack-A-Lak" loose on Island in August 1993, and it also turned up on his Nuff Vibes EP. Kapur wrote it, and it's dancehall with a wicked, rolling bounce and a chorus built for shouting back.
It became his biggest hit at home, reaching number five on the UK chart, and the single and EP went out around the world, landing in the top 10 in Ireland and the Netherlands and the top 20 in Austria and New Zealand. The 12-inch earned a nomination at NAIRD in 1994, and the video took an award at that year's Black Music Awards.
