When I heard that Beenie Man was meeting Alicia Keys to rehearse their AMA performance, I assumed they would be performing the remix that Beenie Man did of her song “No One.” Instead, the performance erupted into a red hot dancehall party! What an incredible surprise! Well, if you were left wanting to hear the remix still, you can listen to it here:

If you don’t know what I mean about the AMA performance, you’re missing out!! But not for long if you jump over and watch the video:

Alicia Keys And Junior Reid - “No One” Remix On Stalag Riddim
Man, this one is pure island niceness! This is my favorite version of all. I don’t know if the vocals are different or just the music, but Alicia sounds so authentic in this version. It probably doesn’t hurt that the drums, bass and reverb are the dominant sounds in this dubbed out remix. Classy choice of riddim too: Stalag riddim.
The Stalag is hugely popular for the Chaka Demus & Pliers tune “Murder She Wrote”:
This was of course the tune they sang with Alicia Keys at the AMA performance…
Stalag is probably most famous for Tenor Saw’s legendary TUNE “Ring The Alarm”:
