This past Summer, Reggae/Dancehall Artist Bugle released his “Apex” album. Since then, he has been taking the music near and far, and the fans have been showing tremendous support. He has been pushing content in support of the album, and his latest piece is a special one. Earlier, he shared the much-anticipated Music Video for the track, “Thank You Lord“.

Directed by DaManiac Visualz, “Thank You Lord” is the collaboration between Bugle, Buju Banton, and Damian “Junior Gong” Marley. Gathered with friends who include Yaksta, Stefflon Don, RumBlood, Ras-I, GiHRL, and DJ Bambino, it’s celebration of unity, and recognition of the Most High through the good times, and bad. The video also splits into scenes with Bugle connecting with Buju in various locations, and sharing their respective messages. “Thank You Lord” is a favourite off of the album, and it has helped to propel the album up a few notches on various music charts. Expect a lot more content in the coming weeks, and keep “Apex” in rotation.

Every day is a new episode in this game of Life. Some of us have to go out there and hustle, others are getting caught up in the system, and some are just trying to make it to the end of the day. We all have our stories to tell, and Damian “Junior Gong” Marley shares a serious one in, “Banner“.

Produced by Scoop DeVille, Damian Marley gets into some Social Commentary and providing a cautionary tale to tell in “Banner”. The track highlights the world of Lottery Scamming, corruption that continues to have a strong grip on the world in various forms, and deadbeat Fathers. He uplifts those who continue to be righteous in their paths, and uphold the orders as to not be corrupted. Gongzilla takes it to the Courtroom for the Music Video, and took acclaimed Director Rass Kassa out of retirement to oversee the visual presentation. The video shows the consequences of certain actions, and there aren’t any happy endings here. Damian Marley always shares strong messages with his music, and “Banner” will be one that will start a lot more conversations. Power to the righteous ones, wave that banner.

Posted on by swadedavillain

Dancehall Artist Rygin King has been on the road to recovery for quite some time, and has used the music as a form of therapy to express his feelings, and help to lighten the mental load. Fans have been gravitating to his music and efforts outside of the studio, and he looks to do even more. For his latest collaboration, he teams up with the self-appointed “Youngest Veteran” in, “Things Done Change“.

Directed by Third World Don and Sherval TheSheep, “Things Done Change” features a collaboration with Rygin King, and Damian “Junior Gong” Marley. A collaboration we never knew we needed, and together they reflect on their beginnings, their experiences, and speak on their growth as Men in this world. One can’t stay the same, they have to grow and depart from things that will hold back that growth. “Things Done Change” is the latest single from Rygin King’s “Recovery” album, which is set to be released on June 14. Two giants in their own lanes team up for something great.

.@DamianMarley Covers The @GeorgeHarrison Classic, “My Sweet Lord”

Posted on by swadedavillain

When it comes to the “Marley” name, it has transcended generations. Damian “Junior Gong” Marley has faithfully carried on the legacy of his father Bob Marley, and created his own legacy that will be carried on by his offspring. For his latest release, he has tapped into another name that has contributed to another name that transcended generations. Marley steps out with “My Sweet Lord“.

The self-produced “My Sweet Lord” is Damian Marley’s Reggae cover of the 1970 classic that was performed by the late George Harrison. Harrison was a former member of the Iconic Rock band, The Beatles, and “My Sweet Lord” was his debut release as a solo Artist. It was also the first #1 song to be released by a ex-Beatle. Marley shared his love of the track recently, and was unaware that his father had crossed paths with the Rock band during their heyday. Marley didn’t do anything extra with the track, just lent his voice, bringing together fans of Junior Gong, Bob Marley, George Harrison, and The Beatles together. Hallelujah!

.@DamianMarley Shares The History Of Virginia Key Beach In “Life Is A Circle” Video

Posted on by swadedavillain

Reggae Music has always been something that entertains, but it also seeks to educate fans as well. Known for dropping lyrical selections but also delivering knowledge and conscious music, Damian “Junior Gong” Marley continues to do just that. Today, we check out the video for the single, “Life Is A Circle“.

Directed by B+ and shot in Miami, Florida, Junior Gong not only gives us a performance of his single, but schools us on the history of the Virginia Key Beach (the video’s true location) which was Miami’s first “Colored Only” Beach which welcomed Black people and other marginalized communities. We learned that the Beach was possible due to many protests, and over the years faced closures until it was considered an ecological treasure and re-opened for good in 2008. Always something of high quality when it comes to Junior Gong, a living legend.
