Prince Far I: Jamaican Reggae Legend & “Voice of Thunder”
He never crooned for radio play—he chanted psalms like a street‑corner prophet, shaking Babylon with scripture over earth‑shaking bass. When Prince Far I’s thunderous baritone echoed through Kingston, it carried centuries of Caribbean history, black resilience, and Jamaican music heritage.
But in 1983, bullets shattered his home—and silenced one of reggae’s most fearless voices. Was it a random robbery, or a calculated hit on a man who confronted oppression with every lyric? Journey with our Caribbean podcast team into Kingston’s underbelly, tracing Far I’s roots from colonization‑scarred landscapes to international sound systems. Hear eyewitness accounts, studio out‑takes, and newly uncovered police files that question the official story.


Why do we kill the artists who dare to heal us?
Did Far I sense the wolves at his door?
What secrets lie in his final recordings?

From dancehall corridors to the global Caribbean diaspora, this episode dives into cultural resilience, Maroon communities, and the enduring spirit that birthed legends like Vybz Kartel. Plug in, press play, and confront the untold truths behind the Voice of Thunder they tried to silence.
