Episode Details

Award-winning actor, poet, and cultural force Sheldon Shepherd drops his debut album “Give Thanks” on his birthday — September 18th — a soulful fusion of Jamaican dub poetry, roots music, and global rhythms. Produced by NoMaddic Movement and distributed by Tuff Gong International, the 11-track project blends storytelling with reggae, dancehall, and deep cultural memory. Ten tracks are poetic reflections, while the final one features an intimate conversation with legendary artist Neville Garrick — recorded during Shepherd’s prep for starring in the Bob Marley biopic. Rooted in gratitude and legacy, Shepherd sees the album as a vessel for ancestral wisdom, identity, and forward motion — calling it his “earthstrong” moment.
