Imperial Blaze is the fourth studio album by the Jamaican rapper and singer Sean Paul. It was released by VP Records and Atlantic Records on 18 August 2009 in the United States. Produced primarily by Stephen "Di Genius" McGregor, the album was initially intended to move away from party-oriented songs in favor of addressing youth violence in Jamaica, though the final release largely consists of up-tempo party tracks.
