Cant Do The Work Overview
The journey of the street anthem base in this dancehall collection began in the studio with legendary producers Steely & Clevie. Known for shaping the sound of modern dancehall, Steely & Clevie have worked with major artists like Shabba Ranks and are recognized for their innovative digital rhythms. Their own label, Steely & Clevie Records, has been at the core of many hits since the late 1980s. This collection brings together a fresh set of vocals over energetic, up-to-date beats. Steely & Clevie’s production gives each track a lively, festival-ready feel, making the riddim a favorite at today’s bashment events. The base of the riddim was built with a strong digital groove, then layered with playful melodies and catchy hooks. The artists deliver standout performances. Daddy Blue shines on “Inna The Business Long,” while Daddy Lizard’s “Fight Over Request” brings his signature energy. Henkel Irie adds a smooth touch with “Jamaican Girl.” Johnny P, known for his work on hits like “Bike Back” with Lady Saw, delivers “Can’t Wash And Cook.” Little Twitch, who made waves in the late 1980s with “Respect Due,” offers “Watch Your Friends Them.” With each track, the collection captures the spirit of dancehall. From creation to release, the riddim’s journey is a story of classic talent meeting modern sound, now echoing through dancehalls and street parties everywhere.
