1. 개요
캐나다의 레게 래퍼 스노우가 1992년 8월 20일에 발매한 싱글이며 그의 데뷔 앨범 12 Inches of Snow의 첫 싱글로 발매되었다. MC Shan이 피쳐링으로 참여했다.2. 상세
레게 리듬에 갱스터 랩을 실어놓은 구성과 가수가 캐나다 백인이라는 독특한 조합으로 상당한 주목을 받았다. 요즘 와서는 기껏해야 자메이칸 억양으로 불평하는 노래라는 소리나 듣지만, 당시엔 짐 캐리가 패러디했을 만큼 대중의 관심도가 높았던 곡이다. 노래 내용이 자신을 밀고해서 감옥에 넣은 사람을 향한 노래이며, 실제로 이 노래가 1위했을 때 감옥에 있었다고 한다.
