Sankara Riddim – Major P

Major P’s Sankara Riddim leans into mellow modern roots, with a soft acoustic-guitar feel and light strings that give the whole set a warm, reflective sway rather than a hard-driving pulse. Teddy Ziggy’s “Protect Yourself” and Jerry’s “Africa” set the tone early, while Coppa Stone, Puppa Yanis, and Ras Iwhan keep the message-heavy side of the project grounded in survival, love, and identity. There’s also a nice contrast in Peppery’s “Forever” and the closer from U Cee, “Move On, ” which nudges the riddim toward a more personal, forward-looking mood. Released in 2016, it sits right in that wave of clean, acoustic-leaning reggae productions that were keeping roots music current without losing its laid-back warmth.
