The Salaam Remi Collection

Today, Salaam Remi is the guy who flies down to St. Lucia to work with Amy Winehouse; he’s the guy who executive produced the Sex & The City soundtrack. But in the early ’90s, he first made his name as the man to see if you wanted to fuse hip-hop with reggae. In fact, his work with Bobby Konders on Super Cat’s Ghetto Red Hot (Remix) arguably kick-started NYC’s whole obsession with rap/dancehall fusion.
The son of studio musician and producer Van Gibbs, Remi started out playing keys on Kurtis Blow records in the mid-’80s. After stints co-producing records with Konders, Marley Marl and Funkmaster Flex, he gave The Fugees their first hit record (Nappy Heads (Remix)), and crossed over to the mainstream with his massive reggae-pop hit Here Comes The Hotstepper by Ini Kamoze.
