"Good Rhymes" is the debut single by UK garage group Da Click, released in late 1998. It was produced by DJ Pied Piper, and features rapping from the MCs Creed, PSG and Unknown MC, and singing from Valerie M. A top 20 hit, the song peaked at No. 14 on the UK Singles Chart and No. 2 on the UK Dance Singles Chart in January 1999.[1][2]

The song interpolates the bassline and chorus of the 1979 Chic hit "Good Times", as well as interpolating vocals from Luther Vandross' "Never Too Much" during PSG's part in the second verse.[3]
