"Dude" is the first single released from Jamaican musician Beenie Man's 16th studio album, Back to Basics (2004). It features Ms. Thing and was produced and written by Dave Kelly. The song is enhanced by the use of a vocoder and is on the Fiesta riddim.[1][2]
Kelly's Mad House label originally released "Dude" in Jamaica in 2003, and it was included on the Riddim Driven: Fiesta compilation album released the same year. Virgin Records then serviced the song to US radio in early 2004 and released it physically in the United Kingdom on 1 March 2004. The single became a top-10 hit in the United Kingdom and a top-40 hit in Italy and the United States. The music video uses the remix of the song, which features American rapper Shawnna.
