The I Need You riddim emerged during the peak of the computerized dancehall era in 1987. Produced by the legendary Steely & Clevie, it quickly became a massive hit. While many artists jumped on the riddim with their own interpretations, none matched the success of Lieutenant Stitchie’s “Wear Your Size”, which even had an official music video—an achievement that was still relatively rare at the time.
This track has since become Lieutenant Stitchie’s signature tune and a defining anthem of the riddim.
