AFRICANA RIDDIM produced by YARD A LOVE RECORDS 2012
Africana Overview
In 2012, reggae fans got a special treat with the Africana Riddim. This roots instrumental brought a deep, classic sound that fit right into Jamaica’s sound system culture. Riddims like this are the heartbeat of reggae parties—DJs play them loud, and singers bring their own style over the same backing track. Africana Riddim was one of those instrumentals that made people want to gather and listen together. The sound behind Africana Riddim came from YARD A LOVE RECORDS. This label is known for keeping roots reggae alive in the modern era. YARD A LOVE RECORDS started in Jamaica and has worked with both new and established artists. Their releases often get good attention on streaming platforms, and Africana Riddim is one of their standout productions. The riddim brought together some strong voices. Capleton, a respected reggae and dancehall artist, gave fans “Live As One.” Capleton is famous for hits like “Jah Jah City” and is known for his energetic performances. Fiyah Chriss & One Cent teamed up for “Dem Nuh True,” bringing fresh energy to the riddim. Jahbahlance delivered “Nah Sell Out,” keeping the roots message strong. Potenkle added his voice with “I Big Hit,” and Teflon, who once made waves with “Yard A Mi Yard,” contributed “From I Have Jah.” Even years later, Africana Riddim is still played by reggae fans. It stands as a roots memory from 2012, showing the deep connection between reggae music, sound system culture, and the artists who keep the fire burning.
