Shaggy and his team (Rayvon, Red Fox und Shaun Pizzonia) formed Ranch Entertainment in early 2011, after departing Big Yard Music Group.
"The Ranch" is Shaggy´s former private house in the surroundings of New York. In an early interview he said, it was a mistake to built a studio in the cellar of the own house- because you´re working at home then. After a short period of time, he bought a new house in Miami and from that point on he used his former private house as a studio. At the time, he lived in this house, he called it "The Ranch". Now this name is the eponym for his new label.
In addition to Shaggy, Ranch Entertainment’s world-renowned artist roster includes Rayvon and Red Fox. With fusion as their formula, they routinely collaborate with a variety of artists including Tarrus Riley, J Boog, Gyptian, Alaine, Laza Morgan and Assassin. Their impressive international collaborators include Ne-Yo, Eve, Kat DeLuna, Joe and Mario Wynans, to name a few.

Always searching for that Killer-beat: The Ranch-Crew >
Shaggy was not always enjoying an own recording studio. In the early years, half of his catalogue was produced in the HFC Studios in Freeport. Big massive tunes like "Mampie", "Big Up", "Oh Carolina", "Boombastic" or "That Girl" only to name a few were done there. Now, Shaggy could buy the central recording machine and displays it full of proud within the Ranch.

Founded in 1996, the label was responsible for many of Shaggy´s big hit records. Rik Rok, Christopher Martin, D-major, Iceman, D-Lynx oder Richi Loops only to name a few, were under contract. After seperation of his manager Bert Livingston, Shaggy left the project and founded Ranch Ent.
