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:
“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“What happens in a strike happens not to one person alone.... It is a crisis with meaning and potency for all and prophetic of a future. The elements in crisis are the same, there is a fermentation that is identical. The elements are these: a body of men, women and children, hungry; an organization of feudal employers out to break the back of unionization; and the government Labor Board sent to “negotiate” between this hunger and this greed.”
—Meridel Le Sueur (b. 1900)
