Ini Kamoze

Revisit the timeless sound of Ini Kamoze with the maxi vinyl reissue of his classic track Trouble You A Trouble Me, released on the legendary Taxi Jamaica label. Ini Kamoze, known as the 'Hotstepper,' made a lasting impact on the reggae world in the 1980s with his unique blend of smooth vocals, infectious melodies, and socially conscious lyrics. Best known for his global hit Here Comes the Hotstepper, Kamoze’s earlier works like Trouble You A Trouble Me cemented his reputation as a leading voice in roots reggae and dancehall fusion.

This classic track was produced by the iconic duo Sly & Robbie, whose Taxi Jamaica label became a cornerstone of reggae production. Sly Dunbar (drummer) and Robbie Shakespeare (bassist), often referred to as the "Riddim Twins," revolutionized reggae with their innovative rhythms and cutting-edge production techniques. Having worked with legendary artists like Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Dennis Brown, their influence spans across reggae, dancehall, and even international pop and rock. Their work on Trouble You A Trouble Me exemplifies their trademark deep basslines and tight, hypnotic rhythms that shaped the sound of 1980s reggae.

This vinyl reissue is a must-have for any serious reggae collector, combining the vocal brilliance of Ini Kamoze with the production genius of Sly & Robbie, capturing the essence of an era that defined Jamaican music.
