Life Story Riddim – London Star Records

Back in 2013, when dancehall was leaning hard into stripped-down street riddims and attitude-forward singles, London Star Records cut Life Story with a clean, mid-tempo groove that leaves the deejays plenty of room to talk. The strongest moments come from the tougher voices in the set — Full Charge on “Heap A Violence, ” Gaddis Di Maddis on the title cut, and Pappy Chulo with the blunt anti-gun charge of “Put Down The Gun” — while “Positivity, ” “More Love, ” and “No Peace” keep the message side of the project front and center. The instrumental sits alongside 13 vocal cuts, and the release closes with London Star Records’ own “Life Story Riddim” version, giving the project a proper studio-session feel rather than a loose singles package.
