As the originator of new jack swing, Teddy Riley has produced some big records in his time, but perhaps none so iconic as Blackstreet’s 1996 hit No Diggity, a US number one that featured a rap from Dr Dre and a verse from Queen Pen.
Now, speaking to TmrO Network, Riley has been explaining how he came up with the famous beat for the song, which is built around a 1-bar sample of Bill Withers Grandma’s Hands, which dates from 1971.
