Blood and Fire Chapter 6: "Life And Death Association"(LADA)

Grants Pen has been called a "depressed area, where death is disseminated with unfeeling frequency," not the kind of neighborhood you want a tire blowout out at 3:00 AM. The time of the night when the scavengers come out , and fiends desperate for their next fix emerge unnoticed from the shadows. The Armour Heights Crew gets a ride out of dodge but not without a cost.

About the Podcast

Rootsland "Stories that are Music to your ears"
A podcast about reggae, resistance, and what endures
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.
