  • Ini Kamoze had one of the biggest reggae anthems of the 1990s. It was the culmination of a gruelling journey that began as a protege of Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare in the early 1980s.

    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.

    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

      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..
