DICKIE RIDDIM produced by PENTHOUSE RECORDS 1993
Dickie Overview
In 1993, the reggae world heard new voices on a special project. Artists like Beres Hammond, Buju Banton, Buju Banton Ft Nadine Sutherland, Nadine Sutherland - Dickie, and Cutty Ranks each brought their unique style. Beres Hammond, known for his hit "No More Pain," was already a respected singer in reggae and lovers rock. Buju Banton, who would later win a Grammy for his album "Before the Dawn," brought energy to his song "Dickie." The collaboration Buju Banton Ft Nadine Sutherland — Dickie showed the power of voices coming together. Nadine Sutherland - Dickie also made her mark with her own take on "Dickie." Cutty Ranks added a dancehall edge with "Leave People Man." The music for these songs was built on a one drop base, a classic reggae rhythm that puts the focus on the third beat in each bar. This style gives reggae its familiar, relaxed groove. PENTHOUSE RECORDS produced this project. The label, founded by Donovan Germain in the late 1980s, is known for launching the careers of many reggae and dancehall stars. PENTHOUSE RECORDS is respected for its clean production and its role in shaping modern reggae. Even today, the one drop base from this 1993 project still carries the true reggae spirit. It reminds listeners of a time when new talent and classic rhythms came together to move reggae forward.
