It's not what you think - this is, sadly, not a gruff, dancehall version of The Crusaders classic, but a run of the mill, dated sounding R&B number.

Beenie Man has obviously been eyeing up Wyclef Jean's dollars and has decided to get in on the chart friendly action.

But some gravelly throated toasting and a sing-song chorus are let down by weak production, that compared to some of the insanely good music being assembled by the best of today's dancehall and R&B producers, sounds like something Blue would consider too tame.
