Almost 30

years ago, disc jock Kurt Riley co-wrote and produced Buju Banton’s Stamina

Daddy.

And even

though the early 90s song was definitely a hit for the deejay, Riley was

initially told that the track would not do well.

Riley shared a video of himself singing along to the song at a pre-COVID event and gave some facts about the track.

“Stamina

Daddy by @bujubanton is the first record I produced and co-wrote. Mi bad

long time enuh ppl,” he captioned the video.

“I was also

told it was the worst song and it wasnt gonna go nowhere. Lol.”

He further explained

he borrowed parts of one of the rhythms made by his father, iconic producer Winston

Riley, and added a bit of his own style.

“I played

the lead phrase, used one of my daddy riddims. I just kept the drums and a few

others and sprinkle new seasoning. Big @bulbyyork,” he said.

Riley, who

produced Charly Black’s Diamond-selling Gyal Yuh A Party Animal, shared

that the song had three verses. He also said that they made up the phone number

in the song and the actual owner of the number had to change it because people

were calling to speak with Buju Banton.
