What makes Here Comes the Hotstepper by Ini Kamoze notable?

'Here Comes the Hotstepper' topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart in late 1994, becoming a defining hit of the 90s reggae fusion movement. Its commercial success helped popularize dancehall music outside Jamaica, influencing subsequent artists and contributing to reggae's global appeal. Released in 1995, 'Here Comes the Hotstepper' marked Ini Kamoze's breakthrough into mainstream music after a decade in the industry. This album followed his earlier work, including the 1994 single 'Here Comes the Hotstepper', which had already begun to gain traction internationally, setting the stage for this full-length release.
