His self titled EP/album is one of the best of all time in my opinion Also, here comes the hotstepper has been my ringtone for about 20 years. Anytime i hear it in the wild i think my phone is ringing😂
Diamonds sound played most of the LP on dub plate before it was released Paul Smickles aka Groucho gave the tunes to Michael Jones who was the selector at the time. Groucho worked at Island records in Hammersmith as a sound engineer at the time. Ño other sounds had the lna Kamoza tunes at the time.
I heard he’s been coming back recently with some collaborations but that’s the only thing I know about him currently since he dropped off the face of the earth after his last album in 2016
He has at least 3 different tunes with the word Hot Stepper in the title, his cash cow is "Here Comes The Hot Stepper", "Hotstepper" is on the M16 riddim and a great tune but nowhere near as successful financially as a single. and my favourite is "Hot Stepper Returns" which is 1990 and came out on the "Selekta" label
Snow cannot be a sellout when he was a white Canadian culture vulture, karaoke Barrington levy. Ini kamozi is a great reggae artiste with undeniable hits.
@@MrNanah38 i was a harcore dancehall fan @ that time only Yankees really played that song only sound i recall playing it was stone love i dont recall anyone cutting that on dub and the song was everywhere that summer and my aunt step son mixed the record that was his 1 big break
lol - me too. 1) because I liked the original version 2) the hot steppers were a gang whose men trained some of my elders so I just didn't like the name being made into like a gimmick... it wasn't his fault - but still..
And now the song hotstepper is in commercials right now in 2024 they better pay that man
"Worl' ah reggae music bout yah, keeps me skanking wit mi daughter ay sah...... Big Tune and Big Artist 🙏🏾🌟🌞👑

"Out in the streets they call it murrrrdaaaaah!!!!!!"

Nuff Respect...Do something on Wayne Smith if it hasn't been done...
LOL... I remember the Hot Steppers were a gang from East Kingston. It's funny how the name because famous.
“Out in da streets they call it murder”

In the pipeline 👍
His best work by far was the Ini Kamoze L.P proper roots and dubs....the rest was too pop, ish

Nah him and snow were sellouts with them big one hit wonder hits. Became so pop it was unbearable. I admit I did enjoy it first time around tho 😭
