Rootsland "Stories that are Music to your ears"

 When people think about Country Music, they think of Music Row in Nashville, Punk Rock the lower east in Manhattan and 80’’s metal hair bands it’s the Sunset Strip in LA. Cities that reflect and project, the music created on their turf, in their clubs, garages and studios. When it comes to reggae music it’s the fabled Orange Street in Downtown Kingston, a sacred strip just north of parade that has been accurately referred to as “Beat Street.”   

Rootsland is produced by Henry K Productions Inc. in association with Voice Boxx Studios in Kingston, Jamaica.

Guest Vocals by:  Patrick "Curly Loxx" Gaynor, Adam "Teacha" Barnes , Steve Briskman. Anica, Sia

Fate steps in and lends Henry K a hand, when he gets his chance to meet the elusive "Black Rose."  He still can't understand why he is drawn to her, or why he is so sure that he has seen her before... but he has a 5 minute car ride to convince her to see him again.

Grants Pen has been called a "depressed area, where death is disseminated with unfeeling frequency," not the kind of neighborhood you want a tire blowout out at 3:00 AM. The time of the night when the scavengers come out , and fiends desperate for their next fix emerge unnoticed from the shadows. The Armour Heights Crew gets a ride out of dodge but not without a cost.

Join Us for the Season 3 Finale will air on September 13, 2022.

Dancehall culture and the street dances that inspired it can be traced back the 1950’s to poorest and most marginalized areas in Kingston. Attended by residents who lived on gully banks and sustained themselves by sifting through garbage dumps. These were people so broke couldn't afford to go out on the town, and frankly weren’t invited , or wanted at the party. So they threw their own inner city street dances that became safe spaces within the concrete jungles, where underprivileged youth could converge and express their individuality through music fashion art and, dancing. Free from a judgmental middle class and popular culture that looked down on the ghettos viewed them as a depraved underworld on the fringes of society. .

Once the phone started ringing at Brian & Henry's "Dread & Breakfast" their quiet spot in the hills became the Kingston base for dozens of reggae tourists from all over the globe. Music business people, journalists, singers, musicians. Most of them very dedicated to the genre looking to contribute music’s international growth and brand, others, Not so Much. These were selfish, self cent “so called” artists, who were all about themselves, traveling to the island in search of fame and fortune and willing to do whatever it took to achieve it. This was the new dancehall "mix tape" generation that grew up on a cliff note version of the music and new nothing of the genres history

Hanging out on a dusty, hot New Kingston street corner breathing in taxi exhaust fumes surrounded by street youth juggling dime bags of sinsemilla, isn't exactly listed as an attraction in the Jamaican guidebooks. Yet, Brian and Henry are quickly learning that hanging on the corner is where 90% of Jamaican life take place. its where culture and politics and music and art, joy and pain all collide and creates a terrestrial big bang that gives the streets a life of their own.
