  ReggaeTrain.com...your portal to Reggae music...(Biography [Ini Kamoze])
For Ini Kamoze, the road to success has been arduous and he has undergone many substantial changes musically and physically since he burst onto the music scene in 1983 with his highly successful eponymous debut album for Island.
Kamoze made his recording debut in the early '80s with a 12" single "Trouble You a Trouble Me" on Taxi and found immediate success.
During this time, Kamoze was 6' tall, reed thin and appeared too frail to contain his powerful stage presence.

 Ini Kamoze goes 'back to the future' - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM
Ini Kamoze is a little known artiste that made many hits that have shaped the overseas face of reggae and dancehall.
DEBUT is the highly anticipated collection of twenty-four tracks of Ini Kamoze's early works that have been re-recorded with top musicians such as guitarist Earl Chinna Smith (The Wailers), and mixed to Ini's full satisfaction.
Kamoze was featured in VIBE magazine's January issue with Boomshots columnist Rob Kenner, as well as in Garagamel and Echoes magazines in the UK.

 The Commodores vs Ini Kamoze
Ini Kamoze (EYE-nee ka-MO-zee) (born 9 October 1957 in Port Maria, St. Mary, Jamaica) is one of the few raggamuffin performers to have been successful both in roots reggae and the modern style.
Adopting his nickname from the song title, Kamoze would become known as the "Hotstepper", from the Patois for a man on the run from the law.
Kamoze's career after this high-water mark features the album "here comes the Hotstepper" which, while it does not match the heights of "Shocking Out" (the comeback album), is nonetheless a solid listen.

 Ini Kamoze, Sizzla in Los Angeles auto crash - Jan 16, 2000 - Jamaica Gleaner
ENTERTAINERS INI Kamoze and Sizzla, two of reggae's best known international acts, must consider themselves fortunate after surviving a two-vehicle collision in the United States on Friday afternoon.
Kamoze's Lexus LX470 was reportedly badly damaged in the accident, which occurred at about 3 p.m., according to a source close to the entertainer.
Kamoze, 42, who spends a lot of his time in Los Angeles, California, was reportedly in the U.S. west coast city recording.

 Reggae Reviews: Ini Kamoze
Before his reincarnation as a hip-hop reggae "lyrical gangster" in the mid '90s, scoring a pop hit with "Here Comes the Hotstepper," Ini Kamoze was a more conscious, less gimmicky, old school (well, at that time I guess it was current school) dancehall singer during the mid-'80s.
When Ini Kamoze achieved Billboard`s Number 1 spot with Here Comes...
The material taken from his Pirate album is not so good, because they mixed the drums and the digital effects too loud and Ini`s voice, which is not so powerful, almost disappears.

 Amazon.com: Lyrical Gangsta: Music: Ini Kamoze
"Ini Kamoze" was the most promising debut album in the history of reggae and may well be reggae's finest conscious roots album, bar none.
Kamoze moved away from roots reggae in the mid-eighties and embraced the ubiquitous Casio driven electronic riddims of dancehall music.
Ina Kamoze had a few hits in Jamaica with this new sound, but his promising career was ebbing when "Hotstepper" appeared on the soundtrack of Robert Altman's 1994 film "Pret-a-Porter." "Hotstepper" was an international hit and is about the worst song Kamoze ever wrote.

 Ini Kamoze - Definition, explanation
Described as a "pencil thin....disentangled....six-foot vegetarian." at the outset of his career, Kamoze's initial releases had moderate success in Jamaica - enough success to land him on tours with such luminaries as Yellowman and Half Pint.
In 1994, Kamoze burst back onto the scene with a harder sound and the song which would become his signature - "Here Comes The Hotstepper".
Kamoze's career after this high-water mark features the album "Lyrical Gangsta" which, while it does not match the heights of "Shocking Out" (the comeback album), is nonetheless a solid listen.

 Review - Ini Kamoze - Debut
The huge popularity of this wicked tune undoubtedly relied heavily on the inclusion of a sample of Ini Kamoze's 1984 roots dancehall hit "World A Music" with its vocal hook "Out in the street, they call it murder" lifted directly from that original recording.
The title "Debut" refers to the fact that all the tracks are re-recorded versions of titles originally recorded for Island Records and produced by Sly & Robbie back in the eighties, which Ini Kamoze regards as "the definitive Ini Kamoze collection".
Even though the new versions have been executed with care and the majority of the results are more than worthwhile, we have mixed feelings while listening to this collection of tunes, but that's probably because we are part of the older generation of reggae fans who are very familiar with the original recordings.

 Debut - Ini Kamoze - Pandora Internet Radio
First off, there are the "Vibin" tracks: snippets from a recent interview with Kamoze that round out his character without ruining his "man of mystery" status.
Then there's Kamoze's delivery of the songs with his voice in fine form all these years later and his conviction as strong as ever.
While fans will enjoy a chance to experience what a lengthy VH1 Storytellers with Kamoze would be like, the two-CD Debut will try the newcomer's patience and they might not make it to the two gems tacked on the end.

 Ini Kamoze : OLDIES.com
Although he enjoyed huge crossover success in the mid-90s, Kamoze was already a veteran on the reggae scene.
In 1983, the duo produced Ini Kamoze, released through Island Records, which earned him international acclaim, but at the same time his local success faltered, as message music was becoming less popular in the dancehall.
At the 1984 Jamaican Sunsplash, however, Kamoze appeared in the line-up on dancehall night, giving an impressive performance to an audience in the grip of DJ mania.

So 'my girl' will "talk to me with respect, listen me with honour" and, if required "she will carry my heatseeker, undercover", the accompanying video done by Tony 'Teerob' Robinson showing a blurred object being transferred to a purse.
Nor is he, the thunderous bass and rattling percussions inside the studio at Harmony House a firm commitment to his distinctive rockers sound.

 Listen Me Tic music video featuring Ini Kamoze from the album Lyrical Gangsta
The title of this album gives away Kamoze's clear intention: to continue cashing in on the massive success of his 1994 single &"Here Comes the Hotstepper" (the second line of which was "I am the lyrical gangster").
It may not have been as much of a commercial success, but with Lyrical Gangsta Kamoze does do an effective job of continuing to develop his uniquely aggressive reggae-hip-hop fusion.
But his duet performance with Guru (of Gang Starr fame) is a great juxtaposition of two very different rapping styles, and &"King Selassie" is a surprisingly sincere and sweetly melodic example of rootswise dancehall.

The musical backing on his albums is a striking combination of deep roots rhythms and studio dub treatments, creating a tense sonic landscape for the poet's messages.
This release will be of particular interest to Mutabaruka fans for its inclusion of several previously unreleased singles, including a number of collaborations--"Great Kings of Africa" (with Dennis Brown and Ini Kamoze), "Wise Up" (with dancehall pioneer Sugar Minott), and "Psalms 24" (with Luciano).
In addition, there are album tracks like the heady, shuffling "Bun Dung Babylon" and a live version of the classic "Witeman Country." THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION, along with CHECK IT!, provides an excellent overview of Mutabaruka's most important work.
