Prejudice, Pain & Praise tells the powerful true story of Errol Arawak, founder of the legendary King Earthquake Sound System, and his lifelong journey through reggae, roots, and dub culture.
Born in Birmingham to Jamaican parents and raised during the rise of UK sound system culture, Errol built his first system from scrap parts, salvaged speakers, and raw determination. What began as a teenage experiment grew into one of the most respected sound systems in the reggae and dub world.
This book takes readers deep inside sound system life. From handmade speaker boxes and late night blues dances to record shop battles, sound clashes, studio sessions, spiritual awakening, and devastating setbacks, the story is told in Errol’s own voice with honesty, humour, and cultural depth.
More than a music memoir, this is a cultural document. It captures the engineering, discipline, faith, rivalry, and community behind the sound system movement, from Jamaica to the UK and beyond. It also preserves the traditions, values, and messages that shaped generations through roots and culture music.
