Billie Jean Overview

The selector’s mix for the Billie Jean Riddim is a showcase of classic 1992 dancehall. The tracklist starts strong with Bounty Killer & Nitty Kutchie on “Go Away,” a song that brings serious energy to the set. lt stitchie follows with “sentence fi dawn,” keeping the pace up with his signature delivery. Michael Prophet’s “been talking” adds a soulful touch, showing off his roots reggae background. Sanchez delivers two standout tracks: “Can We Talk” and “My Sweet Thing.” Sanchez is well-known for his smooth voice and has had major hits like “Loneliness.” His style fits perfectly with this riddim’s vibe. Shinehead comes through with four tunes: “good girls, bad boys,” “lady in my life,” “mama use to say,” and “reprimand.” Shinehead is recognized for blending reggae, dancehall, and hip hop, and he made waves with his cover of “Jamaican in New York” in the early ‘90s. Each of his songs here brings a different flavor to the mix. There is also the powerful pairing of Sizzla & Garnet Silk on “Bless Me.” Garnet Silk is remembered for his uplifting voice and conscious lyrics, and Sizzla is known for his huge catalog and impact on modern reggae.
