Genuine Love Riddim – Root Veg Records

2015 was still deep in that clean roots-and-conscious dancehall pocket, and Genuine Love Riddim sits right there with a compact, vocal-heavy cut from Root Veg Records. The sweetest pull here is probably Lutan Fyah’s “Genuine Love, ” which keeps the message front and centre, while Jah Mason’s “Live In Love” leans into the same uplift with a little more grit. Daddy Freddy’s “Can’t Keep A Good Man Down” gives the set some veteran weight, and Blackout Ja’s “Lion Step Out” comes in with a sharper, forward-driving feel. Root Veg kept the roster tight at seven artists across twelve tracks, so the version doesn't get crowded; you hear the riddim, the dub cuts, and the message without too much fuss. This one first surfaced at the start of 2015, and it lands like a snapshot of that year’s serious reggae run rather than a polished afterthought.
