Shoot And Miss Riddim – Penthouse Records

Released in 1991 on Penthouse Records, Shoot And Miss Riddim pulls together Cutty Ranks’ Cool, Mad Cobra’s Shoot And Miss, Tiger’s Frenemy, and Tony Rebel’s 2 Guns on a tough early-90s dancehall juggling built around sharp, no-nonsense vocals and a hard-driving groove. Penthouse, led by Donovan Germain, was already a major force in the era, and this set shows why: four heavyweight artists, all cutting over the same rhythm with very different styles. Cutty Ranks and Mad Cobra bring the most obvious heat, while Tony Rebel and Tiger give the riddim a broader, more melodic edge. It’s a compact Penthouse dancehall selection that captures the sound of 1991 very clearly.
