    Rootsland “Stories that are Music to your ears”

    Rootsland is a long-form narrative audio documentary created and hosted by Henry K. Set against the backdrop of Jamaica and its music culture, the series blends memoir, documentary storytelling, history, and lived experience to explore friendship, ambition, faith, loss, identity, and the moments that change our lives. Drawing on nearly three decades living and working in Jamaica, Henry K takes listeners beyond the headlines and into the lives of artists, dreamers, hustlers, visionaries, and everyday people whose paths intersect in unexpected ways. While reggae often provides the soundtrack, Rootsland is ultimately about people, memory, culture, and the search for meaning in a changing world. Broadcasting from the intersection of word, sound, and power, these are stories about the roads we choose, the people who shape us, and what remains long after the music fades.

    Every little thing's gonna be all White Chapter 1: "Owning your Masters" Jul 04, 2023
    Show notes

    In the Season 6 Debut, Henry K explains the meaning and importance of "owning your masters" and why it's the catch phrase for a new generation looking to take creative control not only over their work, but over their lives. "Owning your masters," it even sounds powerful, like reckoning or reclamation, and it kind of is. It is the reason why 30 years ago the revolutionary singer Prince, wrote the word slave on his face, and changes his name to unpronounceable symbol. It's why even today, an unlikely rebel named Taylor Swift is re-recording and re- releasing her entire early catalog, of songs she signed away the rights to when she was just a starry eyed teen.

    Redemption Song Chapter 6: "Who Feels it...Knows it" Mar 21, 2023
    Show notes

    Both the Grateful Dead and Reggae have evolved from music into movements, communities centered around Love, Respect, Unity, and Awareness. Perhaps the most overlooked connection boils down to one Word "Rebellion," The Grateful Dead and Reggae were both born out of separate counter cultures embroiled in the same universal struggle, the fight against the status quo, against injustice and intolerance. In this episode "Who Feels it...Knows it," Henry K experiences the fight first hand and learns, what so many of his friends and colleagues have endured in the music business.

    Redemption Song Chapter 5: "Fire on the Mountain" Mar 14, 2023
    Show notes

    By 1994 Henry K had started to earn his stripes in the business, after spending years as a foot soldier patrolling the streets and lurking the studios of Kingston town. in addition to hustling "Henry K"records out of the trunk of his Neva, he partnered up with friend and producer Delroy "Dr. Marshall" Harrison, Gussie Clarke’s hotshot young engineer to form a dancehall label called "One Up Music." However, Henry's greatest accomplishment was a co-production that occurred outside the studio, and would change his life forever.
