Damian Marley, the youngest son of reggae icon, Bob Marley, and a viable star in his own light sits down with DJ Vlad to speak on his dad's legacy, the impact of Rastafarianism on his life, and what it's like working with Nas and Jay-Z.
He begins by discussing his father's legacy, though Jr. Gong was only 2 when he passed, and why the Marley descendants have a knack, for music. He speaks on the social impact Bob's music has and why 2Pac may be the only artist to have such a powerful effect on the masses. He then goes on to discuss Trenchtown and the politics of Jamaica and why he feels it is important for someone like him who is privileged to some extent, to speak up on the oppressions of others in his music.
Getting to the music, Damian discusses his success as a solo reggae artist having received three Grammy awards in his career and working with mainstream artists Nas, Mick Jagger, Skrillex, and Jay-Z through the years. He also discloses whether or not he and his siblings would ever work on a collaborative project.
Watch the full interview above.

There may never be another Bob Marley, but Damien is just as legendary in his own rights for paralleling his father's legacy and continuing the message on to a whole new generation in a true and positive way.

I met this man once in the hills of Kingston Jamaica I could literally feel the greatness in the air around him….I think some of it rubbed off on me when I shook his hand…my music went on to do major things after, true story. Nuff Blessings GONG 🙏🏾🔥🇯🇲🎶

[@theexuberantmortalbeast6213]

Bob Marley is not dead. I see him alive and well in his sons. I watched so much Bob Marley concerts and interviews. When I see his sons speak and perform. I see and hear their father. And it gives me goosebumps.

You’re never going to see a picture of Bob Marley or Tupac as old men. Thats deep.

Damian Marley sounds so much like his father. He has the same nuances, inflections, and some the same way Bob goes into thought. One Vlads best interviews.
