Mr Brown Meets Number 1 Riddim – Penthouse Records

Mr Brown Meets Number 1 Overview

This cultural recording first appeared in Jamaica in the early 2000s, released by Penthouse Records. The project quickly became a staple at roots reggae sessions, thanks to its deep connection with classic rocksteady rhythms and a lineup of respected artists. Beres Hammond’s “Can’t Walk Away” stands out with his signature smooth, soulful delivery. His voice brings warmth and emotion, perfectly matching the rocksteady-inspired riddim. Buju Banton brings energy and charisma to “Miss Ready Body,” blending his unique vocal style with the vintage groove. Bushman’s “Where Is Your Clothes” adds a rootsy, conscious edge, showing his strong connection to reggae’s cultural themes. Da'ville’s “My Ego” is another highlight, mixing modern melodies with the timeless beat. Delly Ranks, with “Tek Bootsing,” delivers his trademark toasting style, giving the riddim a dancehall spark. Each artist brings their own flavor, but all connect through the shared musical foundation. Other notable tracks include Demo Delgado’s “Last Laugh” and Devonte’s “Maybe We Can Talk,” both of which add further depth and variety to the set. Freddie McGregor’s “Change In Me” gives a classic reggae feel, while Gregory Isaacs & Marcia Griffiths join forces on “Number One,” and Gregory Isaacs shines solo on “Mr Brown,” both adding legendary voices to the mix. The sound architect behind this project is Donovan Germain, founder of Penthouse Records. His skill in blending classic and modern styles is clear throughout the recording. This rocksteady flow remains an important part of reggae history, connecting generations of artists and fans through its timeless sound.
