SHOOT AND MISS RIDDIM produced by PENTHOUSE RECORDS 1991
Shoot And Miss Overview
In 1991, the dancehall scene was changing fast, and the Shoot And Miss Riddim arrived right in the middle of this movement. The riddim’s journey began in the creative hands of a talented riddim architect, who wanted to blend hardcore dancehall energy with hooks that would stick in your mind. The result was a sound that felt both raw and catchy, perfect for dance floors and radio alike. Behind the release was Penthouse Records, a label known for shaping the sound of modern dancehall. Founded by Donovan Germain, Penthouse Records had already built a strong reputation in Jamaica and beyond. The label is also famous for helping launch the careers of artists like Buju Banton and Wayne Wonder, and its productions are widely recognized for their high quality and fresh ideas. The Shoot And Miss Riddim brought together a powerful lineup of artists. Cutty Ranks delivered “Cool,” bringing his signature tough vocal style. Cutty Ranks is well known for his hit “Limb By Limb,” which helped define the hardcore dancehall sound of the era. Mad Cobra’s “Shoot And Miss” turned up the intensity, showing why he would later score a Billboard hit with “Flex” in 1992. Tiger added a unique twist with “Frenemy,” showcasing his playful delivery, while Tony Rebel’s “2 Guns” brought conscious lyrics to the party. Even now, the Shoot And Miss Riddim captures the spirit of 1991. Its blend of heavy vibes and memorable hooks keeps it alive in dancehall sessions and music collections worldwide.
