Great Tree Riddim – Clippings Production

Warm and earthy, Great Tree Riddim has that late-spring 2021 reggae feel where the groove stays steady and the vocalists do the heavy lifting. Clippings Production keeps the focus on songcraft across five cuts, with Gyptian’s “Need Your Love” and Turbulence’s “Always Knew It” giving the set its strongest pull, while Jahazeil Myrie’s “Life Line” adds a more meditative touch. Press Fyah and Ghetto Klasic fill out the run with compact, melodic turns that keep the energy even. Coming after Clippings’ Bettament Riddim and before later 2021 work like Active Clip and New Wave, this sits neatly in the label’s growing run of clean, roots-leaning one-riddim sets.
