Career Break
By the end of the 1990s Freddy was exhausted. His hectic life-style had taken it out of him so he found time to return to Jamaica and re-discover his roots. Whilst he still lent vocals to prominent dancehall tracks in Jamaica his next major work did not come until he came back to the UK, with a new lease of life. Freddy teamed up with renowned dub producer The Rootsman in 2000 to make the new album, Old School – New School (Third Eye Music).
Since then Freddy has been making new music and recording and training dancehall artists.
In 2002, Daddy Freddy recorded his first ever Drum and Bass track 'War' (written and produced by Alex Romane who co-wrote and co-produced the world's first officially-released Progressive Hardcore/Jungle/Drum and Bass album 'Delirious' in 1992 with Nathan Robinson). Initially, 'War' was shelved from release by studio personnel until its liberation via EMP and was released in 2007, with a re-release on iTunes and several hundred additional mp3 shippers in January 2012.

Famous quotes containing the words career and/or break:
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
“O to break loose, like the chinook
salmon jumping and falling back,
nosing up to the impossible
stone and bone-crushing waterfall—”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
