About The Record:

Listen Me Tic (Woyoi), by Ini Kamoze, is commonly known as an energetic dancehall track that served as the follow-up to his breakthrough hit Here Comes the Hotstepper. A unique and interesting fact is its prominent interpolation of the bassline and hook from the disco classic (Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty by KC and the Sunshine Band, fusing reggae rhythms with hip-hop influences. It also features a notable So So Def remix with a guest verse from rapper Da Brat, adding crossover appeal for urban audiences. Historically significant as part of the mid-1990s wave of reggae-dancehall artists pursuing mainstream success in the US following the ragga-hip-hop fusion trend. The title track Listen Me Tic (Woyoi) remains a fan-favorite for its infectious energy and playful lyrics. The single Listen Me Tic (Woyoi) reached No. 88 on the US Billboard Hot 100, No. 43 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, and No. 5 on the Hot Dance Singles Sales chart.
