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

Author: B.O.S.S. Radio January 19, 2026 Duration: 46:11
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
