Dickie Riddim – Penthouse Records

Penthouse Records’ Dickie Riddim dates to 1993 and pulls together a heavy early-’90s lineup with Beres Hammond, Buju Banton, Cutty Ranks, Spragga Benz, Wayne Wonder, Terror Fabulous, Jigsy King, Terry Ganzie, and Buju’s duet with Nadine Sutherland. The cut is best remembered for Beres Hammond’s No More Pain, Buju Banton’s Dickie, and Terror Fabulous’ No Retreat No Surrender, with Wayne Wonder’s Missing You So Much adding a smoother touch to the set. Produced under Donovan Germain’s Penthouse banner, it has that polished Kingston sound that helped define the label’s run in the era, balancing hard-edged dancehall voices with a couple of more melodic moments.
