LION RULES RIDDIM produced by PENTHOUSE 1996
Lion Rules Overview
The street anthem base of the Lion Rules Riddim came together in the studio with a clear vision. The riddim architect wanted heavy basslines and sharp drum patterns to make the dancehall crowd move. Every layer was carefully chosen to bring out energy and excitement. This focus on a strong, driving rhythm set the stage for a classic dancehall sound. PENTHOUSE, the producer behind this riddim, is a legendary name in reggae and dancehall. Founded by Donovan Germain, Penthouse Records has worked with top artists since the late 1980s. The label is known for producing hits and helping to shape the sound of modern dancehall. On Lion Rules Riddim, Buju Banton stands out with “The Lion Rules.” Buju Banton is one of dancehall’s biggest stars, famous for his powerful voice and hits like “Champion.” He also delivers a special version, “The Lion Rules Dub Mix,” bringing a different vibe to the riddim. Chevelle Franklyn brings her own style with “Move Along.” She is known for her strong vocals and later for her hit “Dancehall Queen.” Chevelle Franklyn also teams up with Lady G on “Sweetness For Weakness.” Lady G is a respected deejay, and together they add a new flavor to the project. Richie Stephens gives us “Acting Strange.” Richie is well known for his smooth voice and songs like “Winner.” Twiggy’s “It Feels So Good” rounds out the line-up, adding a sweet and uplifting touch. Looking back, this street anthem base kept dancehall alive in 1996, making speakers rumble at every sound clash.
