Season 7 Prologue: "Ghetto People Song"

On the birthday of Reggae Legend Bob Marley... Rootsland is excited to debut the emotionally charged opener for Season 7  "Crucifixion of the Ghetto." Kingston was always hot, by the new millennium it was red hot, an already record setting murder rate was on the rise, and no person or place was off limits. On the season prologue "Ghetto People Song," Henry K explains why every ghetto in the world is the same, as he takes us on a very personal journey from the origins of the first Ghettos in Europe to our modern day slums.    

Produced by Henry K in association with Voice Boxx Studio Red Hills, Jamaica
