Buju Banton x Stephen Marley Speak On "Duppy Conqueror"

"Yes mi friend, we deh pon street again." 50 years after The Wailers original "Duppy Conqueror," Stephen Marley and Buju Banton lift up their voices and join together in one harmony to create "Yes Mi Friend," a crucial selection off Buju's highly anticipated new album 'Upside Down.' After watching them perform the song together for the first time on the Welcome to Jamrock Reggae Cruise, Reshma B reasoned with Ragga about the story behind the song. Then she caught up with Buju at Gargamel Studios in Kingston to hear his perspective on this powerful new song with a timeless vibration.

Stephen Marley is the most talented Marley after his dad! Plays instruments and heck of a producer

Buju made himself a better man and that's what's admirable about him. Mediocrity is not acceptable for him both personality and professionally, always advancing his mind intellectually. A lot of them in the music business really need to pay attention.

You saying they the music reggae music come from a people that worn't very affluent and in their mere existence the expression ,was General feeling, the glorious expression is golden under there circumstances there expression will be gone if one should ignore their cry as a pple ,be it there therefore as a people and a representative of the people. Your duty is to Portrasit a continuation of our people strugglin expression trough reggae by the people for the people enough is not enough , the people engulf in there culture should be reminded of the unique Ness of reggae , instead of leaning toward the big shoes man deception of copy immaterial beat which will never bear autenticy , through the words reggae is a must remain t'donsoill in its autrocity. No underwater Donan copy merrican bulshit best must go authentication of Reggae music for The People by the people ,for the people you are there Representatives. Therefore you must continue representing reggae music stop the variation are varying off the authentication of Reggae music as Heartically Satnce is routed, must remain , Rooted a roof wide out foundation must fall: how come do dance Hall Jits Naw !! Embrace dem Culture : to stray from yu roots : thinking like the daag and bone story ; A pple wirh out roots and consciousness of rootikal music , is lost; reggae that comes from the heart of the people and those who were as affluent let their voice be heard through you my brother continually through wailing reggae from your relentlessly non-stop reggae, I so Mi say an a Dat a dweet , from a so a so. That a do it

[@alphaecka1949]

The statement about a dog on the Bone and under to music on the pop charge if conscious musician and these younger folks who love thee Jeuanrah of American Beat and thinking that if they jump on it that automatically hit the chart ,1 the quality is poor to they don't have the kind of resources to promote the music by ignoring reggae which is their roots that bread and butter everybody else in the world is playing it except them I listen to the top 10 music on on stage and not one reggae in the top 10 now that that is disgraceful and people like winFred Williamson from on Stage embraces such crap , Shamefully sickness in shake like that it sounds like somebody's getting paid to suppress reggae music and nobody is saying y'all you need to go back to the drawing board go back to the shooting roots and bring me some authentication that represent your culture : it's not these big foot shoe who seezed the culture need resizein dem foot: says bout big shoes men and who these supposedly warlord who promote this kind of garbage and they they they are getting paid somewhere on the ground to continue to promote that this deception it's disgraceful somebody eating need to put them out of business and bring about some authentication, Reggae ; have you seen both promote some of these music primoting violrnce and not negating reggae one an Ones should only consider is authentic , what is hard to fathom , is Reggae is growing more popular in the World , yet some little asshoke want to substitute reggae for American imitation beat and give this notion saying Trapp, U have something good which is not Broken Why fix it ?? Bolt good are putting things together music he has not pointed, that out at all time our culture first, yet in his promo laacts cultureally theReggae expression of all people especially when you come from that culture that rootikal thing and the moment you get there your ignorant as tossing caution into the wind; that is Crappie Usain ..PROMOTE SOME REGGAE U CAN AFFORD TO u HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE

I HAVE STUDIED THE BROTHERSHIP RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BUJU & STEPHEN MARLEY SINCE BUJU GOT LOCKED UP/ LOCKED AWAY. STEPHEN WAS THERE FOR BUJU. HE PUT UP HIS OWN HOUSE/HOME FOR BUJU. THAT WAS DEEP FRIENDSHIP LOVE. IT WAS ALSO A ONE LOVE MOMENT. MUCH LOVE FOR THE BOTH OF THEM. THEN THINGS SEEM TO BE NOT SO FAVORABLE AFTER BUJU WAS RELEASED. A FINANCIAL ISSUE POSSIBLY. TO SEE THAT THEY REKINDLED THEIR BROTHERHOOD IS HEART FELT. I GET EMOTIONAL WHEN THESE TWO ARE BONDED IN REALNESS.

[@christophermendez2027]

Two of my favourite reggae artists and so ironic two bonafide bredrens to each other. I have had the belief that Ragga is the most versatile or gifted (no disrespect to Damian, Julian, Ziggy or the other Marley Brothers) of the Marley Brothers and I don't think to even this day Stephen Marley has come close to the full potential of his musical capabilities. Nuff respects to two reggae icons, Mr Buju Banton ( Mark Myrie) and Stephen Marley (Ragga) love you both to death.
