COMFORTER RIDDIM produced by PENTHOUSE RECORDS 1998
Comforter Overview
The Comforter Riddim from 1998 is a true example of dancehall’s power and energy. With its strong “yard beat,” the riddim captured the rebellious mood of Jamaican youth in the late 1990s. Unlike some of the more digital, polished riddims of the era, this one stood out for its raw and driving rhythm. The sound was both simple and infectious, making it a favorite at parties and on the radio. Artists like Beenie Man made their mark with “Conquer The Dragon.” By this time, Beenie Man was already known for his chart-topping hits and had won the MOBO Award for Best International Reggae Act in 1998. Buju Banton, another giant of the scene, delivered “No Fassy Hole,” adding his deep, gruff vocals to the riddim. Buju was famous for his album “’Til Shiloh,” which helped bring conscious lyrics back to dancehall. Devonte’s “Love You Forever” brought a smoother, romantic edge, while Dorrette Wisdom’s “Pride And Dignity” and LMS’s “Here We Come Again” added more variety and depth. Each artist brought their unique style, but the riddim tied them all together. PENTHOUSE RECORDS, the producer behind the Comforter Riddim, is one of Jamaica’s most respected labels. Founded by Donovan Germain, Penthouse is known for launching stars and producing classics like Buju Banton’s “Stamina Daddy.” The mixing board king at Penthouse made sure each track sounded crisp and powerful. For dancehall fans, 1998 would not be the same without this recording.
