SHALOM!!! Get ready for a reggae redemption story that will have you shouting "Hallelujah!" and skanking to the beat all at once. Today, we delve into the incredible life and music of Stephen Omar Harper, better known by his stage names: Stevie Wonder (yes, you read that right!), and the mighty Shalom! Shalom's journey began in 1968, in the heart of Kingston, Jamaica. Music coursed through his veins from a young age, with the eight-year-old already belting out tunes. Fate intervened when he met the legendary Sugar Minott, founder of Youth Man Promotion Recording Studio. This is where Stevie Wonder, the name (don't ask!), transformed into a teenage reggae enthusiast soaking up knowledge under the wing of a master.   Sugar Minott Those early days saw Shalom touring the globe as a backup vocalist alongside the likes of the late Jennifer Lara. He crisscrossed continents, experiencing the electric energy of reggae fans in England, Germany, France, Canada, Japan, the US, an

But is there any truth to this claim? Let's take a hilarious trip through history and expose this reefer madness for what it is: a bunch of bunk. Hemp History: From George Washington to Reefer Madness In the early days of the US, hemp, a close relative of marijuana, was an agricultural superstar.  George Washington himself cultivated hemp!  But in the 1930s, things took a turn for the wacky.  Reefer Madness, a propaganda film portraying marijuana as a dangerous substance, whipped up a frenzy of fear.  Hemp, unfortunately, got lumped in with its psychoactive cousin, and both were demonized. Fast forward to the Fun Facts Here's some scientific bud for your brain:  * Studies have shown no c
