On a Ragga Tip

"On a Ragga Tip" is a song by British breakbeat hardcore group SL2, released as a single in 1992. The song contains samples of Jah Screechy's "Walk and Skank" and Kid 'n Play's "Gittin' Funky (UK Remix)".

The song was a success, peaking at No. 2 in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, No. 3 in Ireland and No. 42 in Belgium. It remains the group's biggest and best-known song. In 1997, a remix of the song was released and reached No. 31 in the UK.

Critical reception
Andy Beevers from Music Week named "On A Ragga Tip" Pick of the Week in the category of Dance, stating that "this track continues the reggae-hardcore theme of 'Way in My Brain', the hugely popular flipside to their massive 'DJs Take Control' hit. Built around Jah Screechy's extremely catchy 'Walk and Skank', 'On a Ragga Tip' is destined for great things."
