Spliff Vision- Shot at 21, Loss, Survival & Why Reggae Is Still Rebel Music- Reggae Hour

3/31/2026
What happens when survival becomes your purpose? In this powerful episode of Reggae Hour, San Pedroโ€™s own Spliff Vision shares a raw, emotional, and unfiltered conversation about life, loss, and the truth behind their music. Frontman Konker Spliff opens up about surviving a drive-by shooting at just 21 years old โ€” a moment that changed everything. โ€œLife is not promised to nobody.โ€ But this isnโ€™t just about survival. This is about what comes after. ๐ŸŒฟ In This Episode, Youโ€™ll Hear: โ€ข Growing up in San Pedroโ€™s โ€œLowsโ€ โ€ข Watching loved ones pass and dealing with grief in real time โ€ข Turning trauma into purpose through music โ€ข The mental battles that come after survival โ€ข Why reggae is more than sound โ€” itโ€™s message โ€œRealityโ€ฆ itโ€™s truth. And itโ€™s not always pretty.โ€ Spliff Vision doesnโ€™t separate music from life. They live it. ๐ŸŽถ The Philosophy Behind the Music This episode dives deep into why Spliff Vision calls their sound โ€œReality Roots.โ€ โ€œReggae is a weaponโ€ฆ itโ€™s a toolโ€ฆ itโ€™s medicine.โ€ From family struggles to community pain, their music carries the weight of lived experience โ€” not industry trends. ๐Ÿ’” Real Pain. Real Loss. Real Growth. During this conversation, the band opens up about:โ€œNever let your heart turn to stone.โ€ This episode is a reminder that even through pain, there is still purpose. ๐ŸŽง Featured Music in This Episode Intro: FIGHTING San Pedro Give Thanks Hey Girl (Upcoming) Gunman (Upcoming) Children of the Ghetto Rise (Unreleased) Outro: In This Time โ€” Konker Spliff ๐Ÿ”” Subscribe to Reggae Hour If this episode resonates with you: ๐Ÿ‘‰ Follow Reggae Hour on your favorite platform ๐Ÿ‘‰ Leave a rating & review ๐Ÿ‘‰ Share this episode with someone who needs to hear it Every listen helps grow a global reggae community rooted in truth, culture, and resilience. ๐ŸŒ Follow Spliff Vision ๐ŸŽฅ YouTube https://youtu.be/W0DSiwvqDBw ๐Ÿ“ธ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/spliffvisionmusic/?hl=en ๐Ÿ“˜ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/SpliffVisionMusic/ ๐ŸŽง Amazon Music https://music.amazon.com/artists/B07JKN3557/spliff-vision ๐ŸŽถ iHeartRadio https://www.iheart.com/artist/spliff-vision-32524348/albums/give-thanks-359342158/ ๐ŸŒ Read the Full Story https://www.reggaehour.com/2026/03/reality-roots-pain-survival-and.html ๐Ÿ“… Watch the Full Interview Premiere https://youtu.be/W0DSiwvqDBw ๐ŸŽ™ Hosted by Reggae Hour Where stories carry weight.

Queen Ifrica, Truth & Silence What Happens When Pain Is Spoken Out Loud

3/26/2026
What happens when truth is spokenโ€ฆ but people arenโ€™t ready to hear it? In this episode of Reggae Hour, we step into a deeply important and uncomfortable conversation sparked by public statements made by Queen Ifrica involving her father, Derrick Morgan. This is not a discussion about choosing sides. This is a reasoning. We explore the weight of speaking truth, the reality of denial, and the cultural patternsโ€”especially within Black familiesโ€”where difficult issues like abuse, trauma, and silence are often pushed aside to preserve image. Through this lens, the conversation expands beyond headlines into something deeper: โ€ข How personal truth and public proof can exist in tension โ€ข Why silence is often mistaken for protection โ€ข How trauma can live in the body, the music, and the generations โ€ข The responsibility of culture when truth is spoken This episode also features music from Queen Ifrica, whose work has long carried messages rooted in reality, struggle, and awareness. ๐ŸŽง Songs Featured in This Episode: โ€ข Four Women (Nina Simone cover) โ€ข Fyah Muma โ€ข Burns Some Herbs โ€ข Genocide โ€ข Born Free ๐ŸŒ About Reggae Hour Reggae Hour is dedicated to preserving reggae culture through storytelling, reasoning, and music.

๐ŸŽฏ Bob Marleyโ€™s Legacy Under Fire? The Ziggy Question.

2/20/2026
Did Bob Marleyโ€™s message of unity, liberation, and justice survive the next generation? In this powerful episode of Reggae Hour, we explore the growing debate surrounding legacy, alignment, and responsibility. As public conversations intensify around Ziggy Marleyโ€™s political positioning, many fans are asking deeper questions: Is legacy inherited โ€” or protected? Does evolution equal betrayal? And what happens when the messenger is goneโ€ฆ but the message remains? Using Bob Marleyโ€™s classic song โ€œWhen the Well Runs Dryโ€ as a symbolic lens, we examine the idea of moral continuity. The well represents source, conviction, and foundation. And when that source appears to shift, people take notice. This is not an attack. This is not outrage. This is examination. We break down: โ€ข The meaning behind โ€œWhen the Well Runs Dryโ€ โ€ข The weight of generational legacy โ€ข Public perception vs personal evolution โ€ข Unity, politics, and the burden of symbolism โ€ข What it truly means to guard a message If Bob Marley stood for liberation and global solidarity, how should that legacy be interpreted today? ๐ŸŽ™ This is Reggae Hour. And tonightโ€ฆ we reason. ๐Ÿ”” Listen On: YouTube | Apple Podcasts | iHeartRadio | Amazon Music ๐Ÿ‘‰ Like, Comment, and Subscribe for more deep cultural conversations.

๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ The History of Filipino Reggae | From Manila to Cebu to Mindanao

2/16/2026
Reggae didnโ€™t arrive in the Philippines as a trend. It arrived quietly. And it stayed. In this Reggae Hour documentary episode, we trace the full journey of Filipino reggae โ€” from its early discovery in the late 1960s, to the pioneers of the 70s and 80s, to the rise of Brownman Revival, and into the modern generation shaping its future. This isnโ€™t commentary. Itโ€™s documentation. ๐ŸŽ™ What Youโ€™ll Discover Act 1 โ€” Discovery How reggae first reached the Philippines through records, radio, and returning seafarers. Act 2 โ€” The Pioneers How Manila introduced it, Cebu expanded it, and Mindanao grounded it in social storytelling. Act 3 โ€” The Present & the Power Brownman Revivalโ€™s impact, the rise of regional identity, diaspora influence, and the question that defines the future: Who carries the crown of Filipino reggae next? ๐ŸŒŠ Regional Spotlight Manila โ€” early cafรฉs, university circles, artistic spaces Cebu โ€” lifestyle adoption, festivals, Bisaya storytelling Mindanao โ€” social commentary, rural narratives, resilience Filipino reggae did not imitate Jamaica. It localized. Less confrontation. More communal endurance. Different history. Different expression. Same roots. ๐ŸŽถ Artists & Cultural Figures Mentioned Cocojam Brownman Revival Tropical Depression Modern Filipino reggae fusion artists Diaspora influence across the U.S., Canada, and beyond ๐ŸŽง Why This Episode Matters Filipino reggae has history.

Is Music Broken Seth Caro on AI, Value, & Why Thinking is the Real Revolution

2/10/2026
Is music actually evolvingโ€”or quietly losing its value? In this Reggae Hour conversation, Seth Caro joins us for a deep, unfiltered reasoning session on music, thinking, and the role AI plays in exposing an industry already under pressure. Seth reflects on growing up with hip-hop before discovering reggae, crossing genres without copying culture, and why scenes and slogans often limit creativity. He challenges the fear surrounding artificial intelligence, suggesting that AI may not destroy musicโ€”but instead force artists and listeners to confront how little value weโ€™ve allowed music to hold. The discussion moves through producer mindset, streaming economics, and cross-genre philosophy, touching on moments like Keith Murrayโ€™s โ€œJah Rx (Redeye Remix)โ€ as evidence that true crossover comes from shared values, not marketing strategies. This isnโ€™t a promo interview. Itโ€™s a conversation about time, responsibility, and learning how to think for yourself.

Follow Reggae Hour for long-form conversations that move slower, think deeper, and honor music beyond the algorithm. ๐Ÿ”— Carrying Value Beyond the Conversation A central question in this episode is whether music is truly evolving โ€” or whether weโ€™ve slowly allowed it to become disposable. That question doesnโ€™t stop with sound. It applies to how we create, how we consume, and how we choose to represent what we value. At Reggae Hour, we partner only with brands that understand that craft takes time, and that meaning is built โ€” not optimized. Thatโ€™s why we align with Old Glory. ๐Ÿ‘• Old Glory โ€” Craft Over Algorithms Old Glory is a heritage lifestyle and apparel brand rooted in craftsmanship, durability, and cultural identity. Their philosophy mirrors the ideas explored in this conversation: resisting shortcuts, honoring process, and standing for something even when itโ€™s slower. Old Glory isnโ€™t about chasing attention.

The Man Who Invented Dub: King Tubby, Sound Systems & the History of Reggae

1/29/2026
Before remix culture. Before electronic music. Before producers were artists. There was King Tubby. Born January 28, 1941, in Kingston, Jamaica, Osbourne Ruddock would become the quiet engineer who taught the world to listen differently. In this special Reggae Hour podcast episode, we journey through his life, legacy, and revolutionary impact on reggae and Jamaican music history. This is not a rushed biography. This is a deep cultural meditation. We explore the golden age of Jamaican sound systems, where the mixing board became an instrument. Through carefully placed King Tubby dub selections, we trace the birth, invention, and global echo of dub music โ€” an echo that still vibrates through hip hop, electronic music, and global sound culture today.

Coxsone Dodd Built Studio One โ€” But Who Really Made the Sound? | Reggae Hour

1/26/2026
Studio One changed music forever. But history doesnโ€™t tell itself โ€” people do. In this special episode of Reggae Hour, we reason through the legacy and controversy surrounding Clement โ€œCoxsoneโ€ Dodd, the visionary producer behind Studio One. Celebrated as the architect of Jamaicaโ€™s most influential label, Coxsone built a system that launched global sounds โ€” but also one that left many musicians unnamed, unpaid, and unheard. This episode explores power, authorship, and silence in early reggae history.

Winter Soldiers: Keeping the Fire Burning When the World Freezes

1/25/2026
When the storm hits and Babylon goes cold, where do you find your fire? In this special winter edition of Reggae Hour, we arenโ€™t just playing music โ€” we are reasoning on resilience. As snow, power outages, and cold winds sweep across the world outside, Mr. E and Zionya (Daughter of Zion) dig deep into the crates to uncover the sounds that have kept the people warm for generations. From Prince Buster facing the long winter of 1960s England, to the modern spiritual armor of todayโ€™s Winter Soldiers, this episode traces how reggae has always been more than music. It has been a fireplace for the diaspora โ€” a source of heat, unity, and strength when the physical world turns cold. This is a story of migration, survival, sound systems, and inner fire. A reminder that even when Babylon freezes, the spirit does not. ๐Ÿ”Š IN THIS EPISODE The History: How Caribbean migrants survived the winters of the UK, U.S., and Canada The Reasoning: Why warmth is both physical and spiritual The Music: A carefully curated journey through Rocksteady, Roots, and Dub ๐ŸŽถ FEATURED MUSIC (All Rights Reserved to the Artists) Prince Buster โ€“ Long Winter (The Foundation) Venice Beach Dub Club โ€“ Winter Soldiers (The Struggle) Malika Madremana โ€“ Lion in the Winter / Let Mi Lion Roam (The Strength) Giant Panda Guerrilla Dub Squad โ€“ Ginger Juice (The Healing) Plus more selections designed to melt the ice ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ ABOUT REGGAE HOUR Reggae Hour is the heartbeat of reggae culture โ€” preserving history, honoring the elders, and reasoning through sound.

Roots. Discipline. Testimony. This is not a hype interview. This is testimony. In this powerful episode of Reggae Hour, conscious reggae artist Blazโ€™em (Christopher Hale) sits down for a rare, unfiltered conversation about a 15-year journey rooted in Rastafari, discipline, and truth.

In this episode, he speaks openly about mistakes, accountability, spirituality, and why conscious reggae still matters in a world full of noise.
