The second of the three Beat albums expanded with non-LP singles and remixes. "Wha'ppen?" is the second studio album by ska band the Beat (credited on the US release as the English Beat), released in 1981 via Go-Feet Records in the United Kingdom and Sire Records in the United States.

After the critical and commercial success of "I Just Can't Stop It" (1980), which mixed ska, reggae and punk rock with social lyrics, the band changed direction on "Wha'ppen?", taking influence from many other musical styles which were intriguing the band, including African, steel band and dub music, while keeping reggae at its core.
