Big Ganja Farmer Riddim – Pappageorge

Big Ganja Farmer Riddim came out in 2016 from Pappageorge, the producer behind Angel Play Records, and it sits right in that warm, roots-minded corner of modern reggae that still knows how to carry a hooks-first chorus. The riddim revolves around a ganja theme, but it never turns cartoonish; the groove stays steady, earthy, and melodic, with enough bounce in the low end to keep the vocal cuts moving.

Michael Black opens things up on Betta Get Hi with a straight, uplifting chant, while General Jah Mikey brings the deejay talk on That’s The Way. Nature Makonnen gets the title cut, Big Ganja Farmer, and Ras Kronik rounds it off with Love The Weed. That four-artist run gives the riddim its shape: roots reggae vocals, singjay energy, and a clear herbal message delivered from different angles without losing the thread.

General Jah Mikey is the most recognizable name in the set, a conscious reggae voice with deep Jamaican roots and a long-running link to roots and sound system culture. Ras Kronik and Nature Makonnen keep the herb-friendly focus grounded in traditional reggae phrasing, while Michael Black adds a more reflective lift to the opening tune. The instrumental version closes the package cleanly, underlining how the riddim itself carries the weight.

What makes the release work is its consistency: no wasted space, no forced crossover play, just a tidy 2016 roots set with a single mood and enough vocal variety to keep each cut distinct.
