Happy Trod Riddim – Leaf Of Life Productions

Mikey General leads the way on Happy Trod Riddim with “Bad Like Yass, ” and that opening sets the tone for a nine-cut Roots session where Turbulence, Lutan Fyah, Sizzla, Perfect and the rest all circle the same hard-edged uplift. Leaf Of Life Productions keeps the arrangement lean and chant-heavy, with enough drive in the bass line to carry the social commentary without crowding the vocals. By 2012 the label was already settling into that spiritually conscious modern roots lane, and this riddim sits neatly beside their earlier work, less about big studio polish than pressure and conviction. Turbulence’s “Starvation” and Lutan Fyah’s “Crazy World” hit the heaviest, while Sizzla’s “Prove Jah Love” gives the set its most familiar fire. It’s a compact Leaf Of Life release that hangs together as a snapshot of the label’s early-2010s footing.
