Wickie Dickie Riddim – Penthouse Records

Produced by Penthouse Records in 1993, the Wickie Dickie Riddim brings together a strong early-’90s reggae lineup led by Beres Hammond, Buju Banton and Nadine Sutherland, with cuts from Junior Tucker, Junior Cat, Leroy Smart, Macka B and Spragga Benz among others. The best-known tune here is Wicked Dickie by Buju Banton and Nadine Sutherland, which helped give the rhythm extra lift, while No More Pain, Make A Living and Gal A Fuss round out the set with different voices over the same steady groove. Penthouse, guided by Donovan Germain, was already one of the defining Jamaican labels of the era, and this release shows that polished, radio-ready sound the company was known for.
