Zion Marley Rules His Destiny In “Best Of Me”

Posted on by swadedavillain

The Marley brand is one that transcends generations and genres. The Marley family is an organization that has tapped into various markets with much success. The new generation of Marleys, namely the grandchildren of Bob Marley, are busy branching out. From Zuri, to Skip, to YG, to King Cruff, to Mystic, there is a new wave of sounds that is making moves in various scenes. Enter Zion Marley, the latest name to emerge with music. The son of Rohan Marley and Ms. Lauryn Hill has a message to share, and it’s called, “Best Of Me“.

Released through Zion Marley Music, “Best Of Me” finds Zion Marley finding peace in the midst of turmoil, loving his enemies while acknowledging being betrayed by friends, keeping his head above the madness, knowing his worth and faith, and showing gratitude to the higher power. The track is expected to make an impact in the coming days, as the song promotes some of the same messages that his Mother, Grandfather, and other relatives have presented in their own music. The song is accompanied by a Music Video directed by Djuvii in Jamaica, and by Gabriel Twardowski in Brazil, and viewers can feel some of that peace that Zion channels through his music. The latest Marley to release music is next up to major stardom, and we will be hearing more from him in the future. Guard your heart in these crazy times.

YG Marley Shares Visual For Viral Hit, “Praise Jah In The Moonlight”

Posted on by swadedavillain

2024 is the year of the Marley. Bob Marley’s biopic “One Love” hit Theatres and did numbers, Julian Marley won a GRAMMY, The Marley Brothers announced a tour, Sharon Marley returned to music, and the Grandchildren of Bob Marley including King Cruff and YG Marley released music, and gained global recognition. YG Marley has been doing well for himself, his “Praise Jah In The Moonlight“, despite mixed criticism, has earned him over a billion streams, and has taken him as far the recently-held Coachella to perform it beside his Mother, Miss Lauryn Hill. The song has done a lot, and continues to make waves on Social Media, and YG adds more life to it with the release of the official Music Video.

Directed by Cole Bennett of Lyrical Lemonade, YG Marley brought the energy of the song to Jamaica with the official visual for “Praise Jah In The Moonlight”. YG takes to the streets, where he proceeds to bring light and love to various communities and individuals by offering flowers, and channels his positive energy to others. The visual also finds him surrounded by Singers in a garden (shout out Yanah who has a cameo appearance), as he performs his hit that aims to climb higher in the music scene. The video features appearances by his Marley family, Kabaka Pyramid, Jesse Royal, and Miss Lauryn Hill. Speaking on Miss Hill, we look forward to the remix of “Praise Jah” with her lyrics. Is “Praise Jah” your favourite song?

In recognition of the recent Reebok Skyscape commercial, I present to you the song that was used in it from Dancehall artist, Sister Nancy. Titled “Bam Bam” and produced by the late Winston Riley for Techniques Records on the “Stalag Riddim” in 1982, Nancy speaks about being an ambitious woman, her lyrical prowess that will “nice up” Jamaica, growing up in Princeton 6, and being a very unique person along her infectious chorus “What a Bam Bam…“. “Bam Bam” was a single on Sister Nancy’s debut album, “One,Two” which was released in 1982 by Techniques Records. Sister Nancy is regarded as the first female Dancehall artist and the first female deejay to tour internationally. “Bam Bam” is her most famous single and borrows a little from Toots And The Maytals’ 1966 hit “What A Bam Bam“.

On Saturday October 5, 2013 another set of players took their talents to “South Beach“. #PayAttention, the premier Hip Hop event, gave patrons another opportunity to see and hear what the island has to offer. Held at Club Indulge (upstairs South Beach Cafe) and hosted by T.S.D. (The Sickest Drama) who also was a performer, the line up of Slo Mo, B.P.M. (SOS Dynamikz, Lady Livi and Traverse), and Mario Evon were given their time to shine. With Inztinkz and DJ Fatalic providing the tunes before, during and after PayAttention,  the night started off with Slo Mo showing us that while he has the slow flow, he had a gang of lyrics and extra special flow just in case. His set, which featured some lyrical songs and something for the ladies in attendance, he managed to have the audience listening to his lyrics which were well received. After finishing his set with a freestyle over Drake’s “Pound Cake”, it was singer Mario Evon’s turn. Mario, who was accompanied with a guitarist, belted out a couple cover songs which included Bob Marley & Lauryn Hill’s “Lights Down Low” before unleashing some originals. The highlight of his performance came when he brought his lady on stage and sang to her to much enjoyment from the crowd. Showing he had what it takes, he managed to wow the crowd with his singing abilities.
