On January 18, the reggae world paused to remember Stephen "Cat" Coore—a founding member of Third World, a master guitarist, and a quiet giant whose influence reached far beyond the stage. Cat Coore was not a musician who chased attention. He was a musician who earned respect—by how he played, how he lived, and how he treated people. To understand his legacy, you don’t need a full discography. You need to understand three moments—one professional, one personal, and one rooted in giving back. Together, they tell the story of a man who believed reggae was not just sound, but responsibility. 1. The Professional Moment: When Reggae Went Global Without Losing Its Soul In the early 1970s, reggae stood at a crossroads. The music was powerful, but often boxed in—seen as regional, niche, or limited in scope. When Third World emerged, Stephen “Cat” Coore helped change that perception forever. As a founding member and musical architect, Cat Coore brought discipline, musicality, and re...

Some interviews feel like marketing. Others feel like a moment you’re supposed to hear. This conversation with Blaz’em belongs to the second category. For over 15 years, Blaz’em has lived Rastafari—not as a look, not as a trend, but as a discipline. In his exclusive Reggae Hour interview, he speaks with a clarity that cuts through noise, ego, and industry illusions. He talks about faith, elders, mistakes, music, youth, and why conscious reggae still matters when so much feels disconnected. What follows isn’t just a recap. It’s a reasoning—with the artist, and with yourself. “I Always Knew I Was Going to Be a Rasta” Blaz’em’s journey didn’t begin on a stage or in a studio. It began quietly—as a youth watching, listening, absorbing. “Looking at the elder Rastaman dem, it interest me. The picture of Selassie—I used to just stand and stare at it. I knew one day… I was going to be a Rasta.” At just 14 years old, he embraced Rastafari—not because it was popular, but because it felt like home...

Tommy Kilpatrick in BANKS EXPOSED:CREDIT FRAUD 1. We Entered This Conversation with Doubt When we invited Tommy Kilpatrick , author of Forgive and Forget: How to Nuke Your Credit Card Debt , we didn’t expect to leave questioning the foundation of modern banking. Tommy claims that law is language , and that words like “debt,” “loan,” and even “credit card” are loaded legal fictions. Our instinct was skepticism. Our assignment: challenge, verify, and uncover truth without swallowing theory whole. 2. “Say Allege”—The Linguistic Defense In Tommy’s framing, the difference between debt and alleged debt is the difference between burden and freedom. By simply acknowledging that a claim is “alleged,” you force the bank or collector to prove the existence of the debt —starting with something no one ever seems to see: a promissory note or invoice . “If you never signed a promissory note, there was no loan,” Tommy says calmly, looking straight into the mic. 3. When Banks Aren’t Merchants T...

Let's face it, most of us first encountered reggae through a hazy image of a palm tree swaying on a postcard, with Bob Marley serenading us about island life. But reggae, my friends, is so much more than just soundtrack for burnt noses and fruity cocktails. It's a vibrant tapestry woven from social commentary, spiritual yearning, and some seriously funky beats. The Roots Run Deep (and Skunky): Reggae's story starts in the 1960s in Jamaica, a place simmering with the aftereffects of colonialism and the rise of the Rastafari movement. This religious movement, with its emphasis on living a natural life and celebrating African heritage, became the soul of reggae. Rastafarian beliefs fueled lyrics about social justice, repatriation to Africa (cue Bob Marley's "Get Up, Stand Up"), and of course, praising Jah (their term for God). The Skank Stops for No One: But reggae isn't just about righteous messages. It's about feeling the groove! The signature sound com...
