Another Dimension / Nanny Goat Style Riddim – Penthouse Records

Penthouse’s Another Dimension / Nanny Goat Style Riddim lands in that early-’90s sweet spot where the groove is light on its feet but still cuts hard, with a classic Nanny Goat swing carrying voices from Buju Banton, Garnet Silk, Marcia Griffiths and Sanchez. Buju’s “Woman No Fret” keeps the pressure low and melodic, while Tony Rebel’s “Chatty Mouth” and Mad Cobra’s “Mouth Talk” lean into the sharper, more playful side of the riddim. There’s also a nice instrumental pull from Dean Fraser on “Nanny Shank, ” which helps give the set some extra character between the vocal cuts. Released in 1992, it captures Penthouse right in the middle of that period when the label was shaping a cleaner, radio-ready dancehall sound without losing the rootsy feel underneath.
