Penthouse Records’ General Penitentiary Riddim arrived in 1996 with a strong vocal lineup led by Alley Cat’s True African, Beres Hammond and Marcia Griffiths on Watch Out For That, Michael Rose on General Penitentiary, and Richie Stephens with Special Work Of Art. Produced by Donovan Germain’s Penthouse imprint, the set carries the polished mid-90s Kingston sound the label was known for, with Firehouse Crew listed on related Penthouse discography references as the musicians behind the project. The combination of Beres Hammond and Marcia Griffiths gives the riddim an especially warm touch, while Michael Rose’s title cut and Alley Cat’s performance help define the release’s roots-reggae edge.
