No Money Riddim – Penthouse Records

No Money Riddim finds Penthouse Records in familiar territory, pairing a rootsy modern-reggae pulse with a strong vocal lineup that leans heavy on conscious writing. Richie Spice’s “Confirmation” and Romain Virgo’s title cut are the obvious anchors, with Exco Levi, Sanchez and Sherieta keeping the energy in that same thoughtful lane. The riddim sits in a mid-tempo pocket, built around muted guitar chops, warm keys and a bassline that stays rounded rather than aggressive, which gives the singers room to stretch out. Donovan Germain keeps the arrangement clean and uncluttered, and the whole set plays like a neat 2011 Penthouse session: eight cuts, no excess, just a steady groove and clear harmonies carrying the weight.
