Stress (Daddy Freddy album)

Stress is an album by the Jamaican musician Daddy Freddy, released in 1991. It made Billboards Top R&B Albums chart. Daddy Freddy incorporated samples from rock bands like the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin. "Nuff Respect" is a version of the Otis Redding song. "Ragga House (All Night Long)" samples Stephen Bishop's "On and On".

Critical reception

The Baltimore Sun called the album "derivative, but fun," writing that "unlike a lot of 'ragamuffin' rap, Daddy Freddy's work tends to play down the reggae-based style's impenetrable patois and sing-song cadences." The Calgary Herald noted that "Freddy is a ragamuffin powerhouse early on, blending the street-wise sounds of urban America with the woeful angst of the Kingston slums." The Dayton Daily News wrote that "there's a grittiness on Stress, not unlike that found on hard-core urban American raps."
