.@IAmSharonMarley & Big Youth Connect For “Steppah”


It’s the weekend before the official release of the Film, “Bob Marley: One Love“, and the anticipation is high. The Iconic Bob Marley continues to be a topic around the world, with many remembering the hits and his presence, while others dabble in various discussions surrounding the Man. The Marley brand has gone up a few levels over these past few months, with some of the offsprings making strides. Recently, Julian secured a GRAMMY win for “Best Reggae Album“, and now Sharon returns to music with a new single called, “Steppah“.

Produced by Leroy Romans and Nicholas Davis, “Steppah” featured the legendary Big Youth, and was released through Gong Gyal Entertainment. Sharon Marley reminisces on a past love, and though their paths have taken different turns, she has a hope they will reunite and recapture some of that magic they had. Big Youth brings his iconic vibe to the track as he now holds the position of an OG. The video, directed by Donisha Prendergast (daughter of Sharon Marley), takes us back in time as we look at the story of young love, the separation, and the great reunion in modern day. Lots of eye-catching 70s fashion here, and paired with Sharon and Big Youth’s sounds and energy, we can expect “Steppah” to be in heavy rotation leading up to Valentine’s Day. “Steppah” is the latest single off Marley’s upcoming “Love Frequency” album, which is set for release later this year. A lil weekend love for you to tune in to.
