Movie Star Riddim (1999) – Penthouse Vintage

Penthouse Vintage’s Movie Star Riddim from 1999 pulls together a strong late-’90s roots and lovers rock lineup, with Beres Hammond’s I Wish, Buju Banton and Wayne Wonder’s Bonafide Love, Garnett Silk’s Gave You Everything I Got, and Sizzla’s Trust And Love among the key cuts. Tony Rebel also brings It Can’t Work to the set, while Wayne Wonder’s Saddest Day Of My Life adds another smooth edge to the project. The riddim sits comfortably in the classic Penthouse style, with that polished, melodic feel Donovan Germain’s camp was known for through the decade, and the combination with Buju and Wayne Wonder became especially well remembered.
