Righteousness is a central theme that resonates throughout the episode, capturing the essence of reggae music's spiritual and cultural influence. The host, Henry K, takes listeners on a journey through the legacy of Bob Marley and the enduring power of reggae music. The breakout success of "Praise Jah in the Moonlight," performed by YG Marley, grandson of Bob Marley, is highlighted as a testament to reggae's continuing impact. The song, co-written and produced by Lauryn Hill, is celebrated for its deep message and its fusion of reggae's traditional rhythms with contemporary influences. The narrative weaves YG Marley's musical debut with Lauryn Hill's resurgence, portraying her as a formidable force reclaiming her place in the music industry. Her involvement in the song is seen as a powerful statement against the industry's past dismissals of her artistic integrity.
Produced by Henry K in association with Voice Boxx Studio Red Hills, Jamaica
