Freeze Riddim produced by Penthouse Records 2025
Freeze Overview
The journey of the Freeze Riddim begins with the roots craftsman, laying down a steady one drop base. This classic reggae rhythm forms the heartbeat of the compilation. The one drop style, with its deep bass and sharp snare, is a signature sound in reggae, and here it is crafted with care to bring out the roots vibes. Penthouse Records, the producer behind the project, is a respected name in reggae music. Founded by Donovan Germain in the late 1980s, the label has shaped the careers of many reggae stars. Penthouse is known for its high-quality productions and has worked with artists like Buju Banton and Beres Hammond. Their influence continues today, and with the Freeze Riddim, they bring a fresh yet classic sound to the scene. The compilation features a powerful line-up. Apache Scratchie opens with “We Dem Wah,” riding the riddim with energy. Chaka Demus, famous for his work with Pliers on hits like “Murder She Wrote,” delivers “Jam Dung Life,” bringing his unmistakable voice and vibe. Tony Rebel & Macka B team up for “Freeze,” uniting two reggae veterans. Tony Rebel is known for his anthem “If Jah,” while Macka B is celebrated for his conscious lyrics. Cutty Ranks, who made waves with “The Stopper,” adds “Bring De Money Come,” giving the riddim a dancehall edge. Ian Sweetness brings a softer touch with “Be My Lady.” Each artist adds their own flavor, making the Freeze Riddim a standout on reggae playlists today.
