Up Close And Personal Riddim – Penthouse Records

Up Close And Personal Riddim was produced by Penthouse Records in 1998 and pulls together a sharp late-90s dancehall set with Buju Banton, Beenie Man, Sean Paul, Mr. Vegas, General Degree, Alley Cat, and others riding the same slick cut. The lineup includes standout songs like Buju Banton’s Up Close And Personal, Beenie Man’s Do You Wanna Dis, Sean Paul’s Nah Get No Bligh, and Tanto Metro and Devonte’s Everyone Falls In Love Sometimes, giving the rhythm both street energy and crossover appeal. Penthouse, led by Donovan Germain, was already a major force in polished Jamaican dancehall by this point, and this release shows that clean, radio-ready style with a strong mix of veteran names and rising voices.
