  • Winter Soldiers: Keeping the Fire Burning When the World Freezes

    Winter Soldiers: Keeping the Fire Burning When the World Freezes
    Jan 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 aren’t just playing music — 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 today’s Winter Soldiers, this episode traces how reggae has always been more than music. It has been a fireplace for the diaspora — 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.
    🔊 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

    Fight For Yu Right: Why Culture’s Message Still Hits Today
    Jan 23 2026

    In this Reggae Hour episode, Mr. E and Zionia reason through the music, message, and consciousness of Culture, guided by the uncompromising voice of Joseph Hill. From self-determination and honesty to global awareness and spiritual grounding, these songs are not just heard — they are meant to be lived.

    This episode flows through Culture classics that speak directly to responsibility, reflection, and resilience, with live reasoning between tracks that connect the music to real life, real choices, and real times.

    If reggae is a message, this episode asks one thing plainly:
    Are we standing up for what we know is right?

  • 15 Years of Fire: Blaz’em on Rastafari, Roots Reggae & Why Truth Still Matters

    15 Years of Fire: Blaz’em on Rastafari, Roots Reggae & Why Truth Still Matters
    Jan 19 2026
    Roots. Discipline. Testimony. This is not a hype interview.
    This is testimony. In this powerful episode of Reggae Hour, conscious reggae artist Blaz’em (Christopher Hale) sits down for a rare, unfiltered conversation about a 15-year journey rooted in Rastafari, discipline, and truth. Raised in a Caribbean household and guided by elder Rastaman dem, Blaz’em embraced Rastafari at just 14 years old — not as an image, but as a way of life. In this episode, he speaks openly about mistakes, accountability, spirituality, and why conscious reggae still matters in a world full of noise. You’ll hear Blaz’em reflect on:
    • Why reggae is not entertainment, but testimony
    • The role of elders in shaping righteous youth
    • The discipline of the Bobo Shanti order
    • Walking away from Babylon without selling your soul
    • Why music can reach hearts when words fail
    • And why righteousness is non-negotiable
    As Blaz’em puts it: “Reggae is not entertainment. It’s testimony.” This episode is for the seekers, the rooted, and anyone who still believes music can uplift, correct, and liberate. 🔥 If reggae ever spoke to your soul, this conversation is for you. 🎧 WHERE TO LISTEN Listen now on iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, and ReggaeHour.com

  • The World Is Trouble Three Days of Roots, Reason & Revelation-- Reggae Hour Salute

    The World Is Trouble Three Days of Roots, Reason & Revelation-- Reggae Hour Salute
    Jan 18 2026
    The Seal We open Episode 14 of Reggae Hour Salute with Tasha T – The World Is Trouble, a sobering roots anthem that sets the tone for reflection, clarity, and truth. From there, Mr. E closes out Reggae Hour Salute with a heartfelt recap of the past three days, honoring the music, the reasoning, and the spirit that carried us through this journey. Over the three-day experience, we reasoned on:
    • African liberation and modern coups, especially Burkina Faso, sovereignty, and the global shift away from colonial control
    • Babylon systems, global power structures, and the role reggae plays as truth-telling music
    • Rastafarian philosophy, spirituality, and the divinity of His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I
    • Women in reggae as culture bearers, messengers, and matriarchs of sound
    • Food, fashion, and faith — from i-tal living to cultural expression
    • Global justice, Palestine, Africa, the Caribbean, and unity through consciousness
    This episode is not just an ending — it’s a seal. A reminder that reggae is more than sound. It is memory, resistance, healing, and prophecy. We close with music that echoes where we’ve been and points toward where we’re going. 🎶 TRACK LIST (FROM ATTACHED IMAGES)

  • Religion, Redemption & Royal Bloodlines | Faith Beyond Babylon – Reggae Hour Salute

    Religion, Redemption & Royal Bloodlines | Faith Beyond Babylon – Reggae Hour Salute
    Jan 18 2026
    Religion, Royal Bloodlines & Spiritual Reasoning
    We open Episode 13 of Reggae Hour Salute with the powerful Mystic Revealers anthem “Religion”, setting the tone for a deep, respectful reasoning session.
    In this episode, Mr. E and Zionya explore one of the most misunderstood conversations in reggae culture and Rastafari thought:
    the spiritual relationship between Jesus Christ and Emperor Haile Selassie I.
    This is not debate for debate’s sake — this is context, history, scripture, and vibration. We reason through how faith, divinity, liberation, and African identity intersect, and why reggae has always been a vehicle for spiritual questioning outside of Babylon’s rigid frameworks.
    After the discussion, the music carries the message forward — roots, upliftment, reflection, and soul.
    This episode is for the thinkers.
    The seekers.
    The listeners who know reggae is more than sound — it’s testimony.
