What happens when survival becomes your purpose? In this powerful episode of Reggae Hour, San Pedro’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 — a moment that changed everything. “Life is not promised to nobody.” But this isn’t just about survival. This is about what comes after. 🌿 In This Episode, You’ll Hear: • Growing up in San Pedro’s “Lows”
• Watching loved ones pass and dealing with grief in real time
• Turning trauma into purpose through music
• The mental battles that come after survival
• Why reggae is more than sound — it’s message “Reality… it’s truth. And it’s not always pretty.” Spliff Vision doesn’t separate music from life. They live it. 🎶 The Philosophy Behind the Music This episode dives deep into why Spliff Vision calls their sound “Reality Roots.” “Reggae is a weapon… it’s a tool… it’s medicine.” From family struggles to community pain, their music carries the weight of lived experience — not industry trends. 💔 Real Pain. Real Loss. Real Growth. During this conversation, the band opens up about:

• Losing multiple family members
• Watching loved ones take their final breath
• The emotional weight that follows
• And how music became their outlet

“Never let your heart turn to stone.” This episode is a reminder that even through pain, there is still purpose. 🎧 Featured Music in This Episode Intro: FIGHTING

What happens when truth is spoken… but people aren’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 patterns—especially within Black families—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: • How personal truth and public proof can exist in tension
• Why silence is often mistaken for protection
• How trauma can live in the body, the music, and the generations
• 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.

Did Bob Marley’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 Marley’s political positioning, many fans are asking deeper questions:
Is legacy inherited — or protected?
Does evolution equal betrayal?
And what happens when the messenger is gone… but the message remains?
Using Bob Marley’s classic song “When the Well Runs Dry” 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: • The meaning behind “When the Well Runs Dry”
• The weight of generational legacy
• Public perception vs personal evolution
• Unity, politics, and the burden of symbolism
• What it truly means to guard a message
If Bob Marley stood for liberation and global solidarity, how should that legacy be interpreted today?
🎙 This is Reggae Hour.
And tonight… we reason.
