"Here Comes the Hotstepper" samples various tracks.[1]

  • Bobby Byrd - "Hot Pants-I'm Coming, I'm Coming, I'm Coming", 1971 (vocal sample: "I'm coming")
  • Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick - "La Di Da Di", 1985 (vocal sample: "hit it")
  • Taana Gardner - "Heartbeat", 1981 (drums and bass)
  • Isaac Hayes - "Hung Up on My Baby", 1971 (closing guitar notes)
  • The Mohawks - "The Champ", 1968 (looped vocal sample: "hey")

You're likely askin about "heartbeat" by taana gardner, or the nah nanana nah hook, which I think is "Land of 1000 dances"
