Clearly inspired by Reggae (Roots and Modern), the riddims produced draw all their power in his use of Drums 808, and the use of exotic percussion. Mandolin, kora, guitar, flute, keyboards and synthesizers to create hymns in tune with the sounds of the youth of yesterday and today, here and elsewhere.
