Sugar Minott

Sugar Minott was a highly influential figure in reggae music, particularly known for his work in the dancehall and conscious reggae movements. This album came during a productive period in his career in the mid-1980s when he was establishing himself as both a solo artist and producer.

The album title "Time Longer Than Rope" reflects a common Jamaican proverb meaning that truth will eventually prevail - time will reveal all truths, no matter how well-concealed they may be. This philosophical approach was typical of Minott's conscious reggae style.
