The Canz - 2010 Hot Steppa
Artist: The Canz
Producer: Logic
Album: DJBooth.net Exclusive
Label: Unsigned
Way back in 1994, Jamaican dancehall veteran Ini Kamoze earned his one and, to date, only Billboard #1 hit with Here Comes the Hotsteppa, a Salaam Remi-produced single off his ‘95 full-length of the same name. With more artists than ever putting their own spin on smash hits of yesteryear, it was only a matter of time before someone resurrected the track for a new generation of listeners. Enter Ghana-bred, ATL-based duo The Canz with 2010 Hot Steppa , making its world premiere right here in the Booth. While producer Logic doesn’t stray far from Remi’s original blueprint (the bass and percussion seem to pack a little more of a punch), brothers Prominent and Foster bring a welcome dash of lyricism to this revamp, repping their city in verses laced with witty braggadocio: “We grade-A here, why you wanna test that? N*gga so fly you would think I’ve got a jetpack.” This Booth-exclusive cut isn’t set for inclusion on any forthcoming project, but those digging Hot Steppa 2010 can find more on the Canz’ Slow Rize mixtape, available for download at their official site.

If ESPN still made Jock Jams CD's there would be an edited version of this on it. Really like the sample, this could be a dance floor hit. Had to turn up the speakers loud on this, and it had me movin.

I loved the original back in the day (anyone know what happened to Ini Kamoze? Maybe he'll do Celebrity Apprentice soon). The production is largely untouched (which is good), and that allows for the guys to simply invigorate a dead record. Job well done, I was pleased!

First off, the Canz joint on the SMKA mixtape was cashews.
Second, oh sh*t! Did you just use a Hotsteppa sample! Man, brought me back to middle school like crazy, and the Canz do my nostalgia proud with some sick flows. I feel like they should have done more with the chorus than just directly sample the original, but other than that, count me in.

After the nuclear holocaust there will be two things: cockroaches and Ini Kamoze's "Here Comes The Hotsteppa".
This ish is TIMELESS, IMMORTAL, EVERLASTING... and all those other adjectives. Though Canz got nothing on Original (aka the song most people recognize immediately but have no idea what it's proper title or who it's by), but they downright impressed me with the slick flow they put on. Let's see what's next. |
