Get A Lick Aka Billie Jean Riddim Riddim – Stone Love

Stone Love’s 1993 Get A Lick aka Billie Jean Riddim circles a familiar bassline with a sharper early-’90s dancehall feel, pairing Computer Paul’s version cut with strong singles from Merciless and Wayne Wonder. The rhythm traces back to the classic Billie Jean/Get A Lick family, which had already been tied to Shinehead’s crossover hit and was still getting fresh reworks by producers in the years that followed. Merciless’ Nobody Knows and Wayne Wonder’s Only You give the set its most memorable hooks, while the instrumental version keeps the groove front and center. It’s a neat snapshot of Stone Love’s ear for enduring dancehall rhythms and the kind of voices that could turn them into lasting records.
