Season 1
Episode 11

In this bonus episode, Henry K and Sia tackle the pressing need for accountability and authenticity within the reggae community, lamenting the lost opportunities for meaningful dialogue and action due to the pervasive influence of gatekeeping practices in digital spaces. They recount instances of censorship, such as the removal of petitions advocating for justice for Peter Tosh, which highlight the disconnection between reggae's cultural origins and its contemporary representation. The conversation culminates in a passionate assertion of the importance of reclaiming reggae's narrative from those who seek to profit from it while neglecting its foundational truths. Ultimately, the episode serves not only as a critique of the current state of reggae media but also as a rallying cry for fans, artists, and advocates to champion the voices and stories that have historically been marginalized, thereby ensuring that reggae's legacy remains vibrant and true to its roots.Produced by Henry K in association with Voice Boxx Studios Kingston, JamaicaIntro features Kim Yamaguchi Closing Song : "Lively & Deadly" feat.
