Under Me Sleng Teng

Recorded in Kingston at Prince Jammy's Studio, with Wayne Smith and Noel Davey shaping the track around a Casio MT-40 preset before Prince Jammy finalized the production. The song was issued in 1985 from that digital session. The track became a landmark because it helped launch reggae's digital era and the dancehall style built around computerized riddims. Contemporary and retrospective coverage treats it as a revolutionary release rather than just a hit single. It remains one of reggae's most influential records, widely credited with spawning the Sleng Teng riddim and opening the door to later digital dancehall. Its rhythm has been reused, versioned, and sampled repeatedly, giving the song lasting reach far beyond its original release.
