Sean Paul is taking a shot at one of dancehall’s most legendary riddims with Stand On Business, the lead track from King Jammy’s upcoming Sleng Teng anniversary project.
The release marks a major moment for the Jamaican dancehall star, who is recording over the iconic Sleng Teng riddim for the first time.
Created by producer King Jammy in 1985, the groundbreaking riddim sparked the digital dancehall revolution and went on to change the sound of Jamaican music forever.
Built around a preset from a Casio MT-40 keyboard, the unmistakable rhythm became one of the most influential riddims in music history.
Now, 41 years later, King Jammy is revisiting his legendary creation with a bold new version of Sleng Teng, bringing together its rich history and a new generation of dancehall.
Riding the timeless riddim, Sean Paul delivers a rhythmic flow reminiscent of the classic dancehall hits that helped establish his global reputation.
Stand On Business serves as the lead-off track from King Jammy’s Sleng Teng anniversary project, which is due later this year.
Over the years, scores of artistes and remixers have put their own spin on the Sleng Teng legacy.
But this marks the first time Sean Paul has officially taken on the iconic riddim on record — adding another chapter to one of dancehall’s most enduring stories.
