Damian ”Jr. Gong” Marley
Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley has recently collaborated with Jay-Z on “Bam,” a major highlight from 4:44, and Skrillex on “Make it Bun Dem,” but in July, Bob Marley’s youngest son released his fourth studio album Stony Hill, his first solo release in a decade. The 18-track album has variety: classic roots songs like “Looks Are Deceiving,” marijuana-praises on “Medication,” trap-infused beats on “Here We Go,” and political musings on “Slave Mill.” With his authoritative, euphonious voice, Damian Marley is carrying the family legacy.
