Champion Riddim – Penthouse Records

Champion Riddim is a 1994 Penthouse Records dancehall set built around a strong run of artists, with Beenie Man’s Beat Of The Ghetto, Buju Banton’s Champion, and Spragga Benz’s Moving Up The Live among the key cuts. The lineup also includes Buccaneer, Sweet C, Terry Ganzie, and Twiggy, giving the rhythm a mix of hard-edged street songs and smoother vocal turns. Donovan Germain’s Penthouse was one of the defining labels of the era, and this package sits right in that productive mid-90s stretch when the label was shaping a lot of the sound around Jamaican dancehall.
