Sim Simma also known as Who am I the girls dem sugar, a cross over hit of the late nineties that became this timeless hit world wide continues its influence on the music world. Almost 20 years old, released in 1997 it adds fruit to the adage good music has no age. Probably known more by the Bennie Man title , the true name of the riddim is the Playground riddim produced by multi talented producer/musician Jeremy Harding for his 2 Hard Record label, during its early years it also spawned hits for a then emerging Sean Paul ( Infiltrate) and Mr. Vegas ( Nike Air )
Those of you who remember it was somewhat controversial at the time because of the verse . Pass me the keys to the trucks ( a copy of Missy Elliot's the Rain/ Beep Beep hot tune at the time) how could I make love to a fella ....in a rush which was interpreted as Bennie Man suggesting making love to a fella in a rush........ Obviously not Bennie Man's intention but you know people always looking for excitement
Pree the original
But true to the original its thick bass line that made it the perennial hit in 2015 it has been used for a new generation...maaaaad
Firstly you might have picked it up in this USVI maad hot jam from Rock City " I'm That Nigga" NSFW
