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
