When the world tries to sell you lies, someone has to speak the truth. While some international media spin tales of "White Genocide" in South Africa—a narrative both dangerous and wildly inaccurate—the real crises go ignored: indigenous land displacement, youth unemployment, political elitism, and the economic weaponization of poverty. Enter Don Dada — South African reggae revolutionary, humanitarian, and the first Mzansi artist signed to Bob Marley's Tuff Gong International . In this raw, unfiltered conversation on Reggae Hour , Don Dada delivers what mainstream won't: unshakable truth wrapped in rhythm. "We should be focused on strengthening home. Because once we do that, our voice becomes powerful on the global stage." (30:32) The Battle for Land & Culture Don Dada doesn’t mince words when discussing the ongoing land crisis in South Africa. In Limpopo, over 2,000 people have been displaced due to aggressive mining operations. "We're talkin...

  We Were Gods Before We Were Labels Before the words Black, Negro, or Colored were ever scrawled across a census sheet… Before your grandmother was forced to check a box that disconnected her from her ancestors… Before our names were stripped, our tribes broken, and our power rewritten… We were Carbon-Based Gods. But what they couldn’t kill in the flesh, they tried to reprogram in the mind. And that’s where this battle still lives. --- Mental Warfare Requires Mental Weaponry Demetreus “Sosa Bread” Smith didn’t write a self-help book. He dropped a spiritual war manual. Ten Powers of the Carbon-Based God: Mental & Emotional Edition is not for the faint of heart. It’s not comfort food. It’s not “positive vibes only.” It’s the sacred science of remembering who the hell you are. Sosa Bread pulls back the curtain on the mental and emotional sabotage that came with colonization, identity erasure, and reclassification. He exposes how so-called “Black” people were not just renamed, but...

With no major labels knocking, they built their own studio, pressed their own records, and created their own space in reggae’s history. “ It was brave of us as youngsters to say, okay, if no one wants to help us, we’re going to do it ourselve...

Aiyana's Lament: The Reclassification of a People Aiyana’s Lament: The Reclassification of a People By a Keeper of the Story In the shadowed green thickets of the American Southeast—where the scent of river cane and cedar once marked the boundaries of sovereign nations—a child named Aiyana was born. Her people were rooted in the soil of the Carolinas, Georgia, and northern Florida. They were Muscogee, Yamasee, Creek, Tuscarora, and Lumbee. Aiyana, like her ancestors, knew the land as her birthright. She was no older than seven when she began to notice the change—not a change brought by fire or musket, but by silence. The kind of silence that follows a paper signing. The War on Identity Was Waged in Ink In 1835 , following the Nat Turner rebellion, the North Carolina General Assembly passed sweeping racial laws aimed at disarming and disenfranchising “Free People of Color.” Among those caught in this legislative dragnet were thousands of Indigenous peoples of mixed ancestry ...
