Never Want To Heard A Dem (Hip-Hop Remix)

Released in 2000 on the RMC Records label, this hip-hop remix of Sizzla's 'Never Want To Hear A Dem' emerged during a period of significant cross-pollination between Jamaican dancehall and international hip-hop sensibilities. Sizzla, a central figure in the mid-90s roots reggae revival, was frequently sought out for collaborations that blended his signature fast-paced, melodic delivery with broader urban production styles to capture the growing global market for dancehall-infused rap.

The record represents the raw, grassroots approach of independent labels like RMC during the turn of the millennium. By remixing existing reggae vocal tracks into a hip-hop framework, the production team aimed to bridge the gap between traditional sound system culture and the club-oriented hip-hop scene. While it lacks a formal catalog number, which was not uncommon for independent 12-inch pressings of this era, the release is valued by collectors for its role in documenting the experimental, often informal remix culture that defined the transition of dancehall artists into mainstream hip-hop crossover spaces.
