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.

djvlad Great Interview Vladimir
djvlad part 5 doesn't work, anyway i can watch it please?
Jamhari De TriniJam Hell yeah! I just love how he talks. I could listen all day...damn I have been lol!!
This is a good interview,need to interview more Jamaican artist 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
For such a tiny island Jamaicans have impacted the entire world Marley was truly a messenger!!
I agree Shola
Overachievers Island !!
shola ebofin Because most of them are from the Ashanti tribe Ghana 🇬🇭 . A very powerful tribe! Look them up .
jamaica is quite big compared to the majority of the island in the caribbean
Yeah it's massive compared to the likes of Antigua and Barbados
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.
😊🎉👌🏽💯💲
Ziggy Marley had a big impact as well
@@twhaley42, and Stephen.
I ABSOLUTELY AGREE...
I wouldn't say "just as legendary". I love Jr Gong's music, but Bob Marley was Elvis/ Rolling Stones level of impact. Bob changed the perception of rastas and put Jamaican music on the map globally. I agree that Bob's sons have created their on unique legacies on music. They don't try to be Bob, but always show their love and respect.
Without downplaying other legends, the Marley family has played a big role in keeping Reggae music & culture alive.
When and where?
😂😂
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 🙏🏾🔥🇯🇲🎶
Bless up 👍🏾
feel the greatness and smell the herb lmao
How wonderful for you,, and how lucky. You were in the presence of such greatness. God Blessed you.
He is a geat musician. Musical legend, runs i the family obvious, but he is his own artist and very unique. Bless up
I bet he smoked alot
That album he had with Nas is legendary
Its so slept on mane
One of the best albums still playin it 😎
Was listening to it earlier. And here comes a full length interview
I know y u mad ni%%a sonslept on classic
Marvin Tellis that's your opinion, did u see them touring the album?, even Amy Winehouse went to see them, legendary dude, a matter fact great album, two artist from a complete different genre, name a time is been done
His voice is just legendary like his Father rest in Peace Bob Marley!!
Mohamed Sagna foreal thou
It does sound just like bob
Sort of, slightly, not like Stephen though. Listen to Bob’s voice and then listen to Stephen’s , it’s almost uncanny!!
Stephen really sounds like his father, Junior Gong really personfies his spiritual side.
Great interview big fan of him, his father, and family one love!
Humility the man says thank you for every compliment and he spoke with absolute honesty and knowledge 👊🏿. Respect Jr Gong highly blessed and favored.
You’re never going to see a picture of Bob Marley or Tupac as old men. Thats deep.
Not the King either
Tupac and Bob Marley are Top 3 Greatest Artist Musicians Of All Time
and very, very sad. One Love.
Damiens climbing up the ranks himself
Michael Jackson too
This is a conscious man, who is extremely talented. I see him every time he comes to town. Amazing performer.
Facts
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.
Eye overstand You mosdifinately
Same with the Grandkids 😊
Family
When he laughed and said "Aren't they all??? They're politicians"... I felt that
BOB MARLEY IS NEVER DEAD. HIS DNA IS AT WORK ✌️✌️✌️
Absolutely 💯
Truth 💯
My name is Harley Bob Marley
No one is ready for Damian's lyrics they go right over people's head.
I wouldn't say that.. how you know ?
@@brasinovic that is why we're here🌌
@@brasinovic u obviously didint get what he meant! He meant his lyrics hits like a bomb 💣 cos you never know what he dropping
Facts
✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
I love it when Mr. Marley laughs out loud upon recieving very nice compliments! Its awesome how he does not take himself so serious or his music so serious that he cannot have a good time! For Ever Humble Is Mr. Marley!
damian marley is the fuckin man. dude makes me feel like a soldier listening to his music
Such a humble man with a calming/soothing voice. Truly enjoyed this interview
FullBoost Racer me also
Thanks for giving him a legit interview! Breakfast Club asked him 12 minutes worth of question and that's nowhere near enough for a man that knows what he knows and who his family is.
This is better than the 12 min breakfast gave him...vlad get a w for this
jovonny real talk that 12min was disrespectful
for reals.. few W's for Vlad.. but he got this one..
Yea fr I don't agree with all vlad' s tactic but he got it with this one and that havoc interview 4sure
They gave French Montana 22 mins and him 12 can u believe that shit
jovonny
Real talk
You could always tell from a young age, his father's spirit was heavy on him. Respect
Distant Relatives is THE MOST Underrated album EVER
FACTS!!!!!!!❤️💯
Proud JAMAICAN gyal here 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Yazmin Singleton 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
I'm half Jamaican
Proud human being right here! We're all one man. Wasn't that the point of Bob's music?
And now his children
Im not jamaican im American of Punjabi Indian decent, we share more similarity with Rastas then youd think! 💯💯💯
JAH RAS TAFARi
Bob Marley & Tupac Shakur put there lives on the Line for the Cause of There People R.I.P Brother's 1Love 👍🎼🎧🎤❤💛💚🌍💯
Why do I love this man so much?
Immortalized for what they believed in:
2pac
Bob Marley
Bruce Lee
What did Bruce Lee believe in?
@@juswolf22 are you serious about your question?
@@siyaklaas i wanna know too
he looked teary eyed at so many points in this interview. sad his father couldn't see him grow up. RIP Bob Marley
He's blessed. Father Bob lives through and is with him. Blessed love, Junior Gong Marley.🌿❤️🧡💚🌿
He was teary eyed in some topics for sure but he also was high. He definitely has some of Bob’s traits besides being his son. Very woke, militant but also a shy side just like Bob. Something about Bob man it’s crazy a true prophet 💯
Distant Relatives will go down as one of the greatest collab albums ever
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.
Agreed 💯💯
Same. Especially when he laughs. That’s 100% Bob’s laugh
Ya to bad they edited tons of it. Wish we could watch it uncut
Most of the boys do though... Ziggy and Stephan
Exactly, his speaking voice crazy close to Bob's
This interview made me talk like a jamaican for months 🔥🔥
When I want to get influence in music. I listen too Tupac and Bob Marley!
51:10 tupac bob marley comparisons
Money Matters u the best
Money Matters someone smart finally💯😌
Money Matters , thanks homie.
My dream colab right there. Pac and Bob
Watch the whole interview #JrGong
Living Legend. Truly believe Nesta is living through the legacy of his children and grandkids.
OK kobo famif
Mr. Marley is a timeless classic, grew up on that album, still the best of all the albums to me
Fahmi Ahmed just found the album the other day and bumping it to the fullest! Me name JR Gong and Searching my favorites
Welcome To Jamrock Classic ALbum!
Stikkar Yes, it is!
This has been the best interview I have ever seen with Demian Marley so far. People never know how to approach him.
💯💯‼️
I love to hear Damien talk.
Oh yes he sounds like his father
Such a strong calming spirit, it gives you a peaceful feeling listening
He's such a humble soul respect
I never taught I'd say this but I gotta applaud Vlad for this in debt interview. He didn't take the sensational route like he usually does, was knowledgable throughout the whole interview with his questions. As a Reggae fan this is one of the best interviews I've seen on Damien & the most intelligent conversation I saw on this channel. Big up Vlad for putting respek on Marley's name.
damien is abnormaly gifted.
African conservative ❤️💚💛💒🇪🇹🇯🇲
Bloodline
jamaicans are a special group of africans.
Damian!!! Not Damien
I had never followed Damian but this interview makes have so much respect for him, he seems like such a humble person and a good human being.
Welcome to Jamrock!
im proud of you Damian, so polite, humble, respectful, honest, you will be remembered for a long long time,
think about it this way, when people mention your father (Bob), it automatically comes in mind your name, and the rest of your brothers, + the Marley family, big up respect for that,
also, im sure ive seen you in a Club in UK, around 2014/15, you had a friend or a body guard with you, tall big guy,
you looked around, looked directly on me, and then you turn around and left,
im sure 1000% it was you, not because of your locks, but your face, as im a big fan of your music,
ive been inspired as well by you, and now i do my own music, reggae/reggaeton/hiphop/rap/
im proud of you brother, Jah be with you always, Rastafari,
stay safe,
I thought that was a blanket across his lap. That's his locks. Amazing!!!
One of the greatest interview I ever seen from Damian "Jr Gong" Marley. Learned a lot about is philosophy behind his music.
Damian has a way of "shooting" you with the visualization of what he's talking about and is keen on bringing perspective in his answers.
TUPAC And Bob Marley are like twins. Same spirit.👐🙌
Damian Marley is obviously very intelligent and well educated. Good interview.
Well Vlad does ask a lot of questions I've heard Damian answer before, so questions could have been better.
@@cherie0882 Hey Cherie. I love in depth interviews, someone who has done the research and figured out this hasn't been asked in any interview so far. Am wondering if you know of any such interviews,your favourites?
Why would anyone give a thumbs down for a man speaking on his life? Babylon ..
Damian is a wiseman legend just like his father
Love his music. Cold piece of work.
Rest In Peace Pac and bob. I know they’re in heaven smoking a joint.
god has given them their next mission. All is very good in the heavenly realms 🌷🥰
MR. DAMIEN MARLEY,
U R SO AWESOME. I AM 65 YRS. OF AGE AND RESIDE IN BELIZE, CENTRAL AMERICA AND I MY WISH IS TO MEET U AND ATTEND ONE OF YOUR CONCERTS BEFORE I LEAVE THIS EARTH.
ONE LOVE RASTA
ELEANOR GRAY
I think distant relatives with Nas was a slept on album in my opinion
Indeed
D Raines you damn right gee. No Doubt.
D Raines I loved that Album
Slept on? Who doesn’t love that album
It definitely is, but Damian's newest album is also really slept on.
Damian marley is such an amazing artist. Vlad,thank you for this. What made this interview great is that vlad actually loves reggae and knows alot of history so for once vlad was actually on the same page as the person hes interviewing.
One of the best interview I have seen by a Jamaica artist
Enjoyed this interview... my first introduction to Damian Marley and his music... Let's just say, Damian got a new fan today!
He has his fathers voice I love it
Uguale
My father was one of the political leaders at the time and was on stage with his father that day...RIP Bucky..RIP Bob..
Oh Bucky Marshall is your father!
Yes. We all know the legend of that one. Of course u "no partial".
@@obeahman6286 blessings King yuh kno di ting💪🏾
@@raymondpatterson5111 I just saw this😩.. yea
As a BoB Marley fan , Damien's voice will give you goosebumps . It's like Nesta All Over Again , i hope my genes are that strong
Divinely, beautifully, and righteously made. His intelligence and wisdom is just wow! Bob is so proud. Nuff respect jr gong ❤💛💚
Tribes at War is my fav song of that distant relative's album
Glorie Mpaka tribal was we no want no more of that 🖒
Glorie Mpaka Great choice of song... Also love Africa must wake up. 👂🏻💯

Love from Ethiopia thank you Vlad for inviting one of the greatest Reggae artists and thank you Damian Marley for representing Ethiopia...As We Enter is a timeless record
damian is such an inspiration to me. I was diagnosed with epilepsy last year and he has helped me turn my whole mindset around just with his music. hes a legend and hes amazing. very talented young man who has given me hope and the gift of music... that alone money can never buy.. thank u damian for being a man of hope, musical enlightenment and spreading the light of positivity and the wonderful possibilities that having and maintaining a positive mindset can bring to one :) It has kept me going when i felt at my lowest health wise :)
Vlad is very knowledgeable even though he digs for information you can't help but enjoy the way he conducts his interviews big up to the legend Damian Marley!
Bob Marley, Tupac and Fela are the only true voice of the poor people...ONE LOVE!!
tricha123ful1 r.i.p to both of them
3 of them Bob Marley, Tupac and Fela
Bob Marley,peter tosh,fela,tupac,
Ras .. Agreed!!! 4 Kings
tricha123ful1 dont compare tupac to bob marley..too pac was confuse wanna be gangster.
So intelligent & well spoken for how relaxed those eyes are. Gong Zilla- Big Up!
The marriage of rasta reggae and dancehall wid all other flavours of all other genre...plus the historical spiritual cultural thesis of Damian's body of work is a miraculous synthesis of revelation in our times.
Like all distant past in the now .
Dis yute bawn fi dis mission.
Searching for the Truth and the truth is us.
Searching for the sign and the sign is us. The almighty recruit and we come from the root.
my second favorite Marley
Iki Cash who's the first? His farther?
yes bob marley
Cant sleep on stephen though hes dope as fuck and has alot yo do with damians music
There's also Ziggy Marley
@@dravenvigil4790 True
just love his humbleness; and his thank you for every big up...truly a favorite of next to his father; not to take any away from ziggy, or some of the other siblings..like julian's first (or second) song on his album as well; and distant relatives masterpiece
Tupac recognized Bob Marley as a voice a teacher and pioneer in the music industry, thats why on the video "I ain't mad at you" shows him in heaven with jimi Hendrix and bob marley both playing together...Tupac wanted to impart his legacy alongside both of those pioneer's and its just a decade type of influence (Jimi 60's-70's, Bob Marley 70's-80's, 2pac 90's) so when you talk about the impact of these pioneers you cant help but to acknowledge all of there impact...
all my respect and admiration for your sisters and the 2 wonderful mothers that kept that one love and one heart that Bob Marley was about, integrating all of the other children as a real family, you were all gifts THE MARLEY CHILDREN, well done.
Vlad's been clutch with these full interviews he's been posting lately. I can respect that.
Watching this video you see so much of Bob's spirit in him. The laugh the facial expressions and he's speaking his own truth. Much respect to GongZilla. Vlad actually did a lot of homework on this one well done interview.
Love you damian. Thanks for the hard work and the wise words. God bless. Hope you get a break after the tour to enjoy yourself.
This is the best informative interview he's put together.
Deep when I have to admit the Vlad interview is better put together than the Breakfast Club interview.
Cipher*7*J.E.W.E.L.S truss me ciph!!!! I was like.. 12 mins??? Wtf?? They give all kinds of idiots airtime. Must be they couldn't understand the patois lol!
Cipher*7*J.E.W.E.L.S I think vlad just had more time with him
they dont ''interview''... vlad does. in every video, nothing but questions... and good ones.
Damian's music is inspirational, such a cool cat!
Got my Traffic Jam ticket for next year hyped! 🔥
Meanwhile his beautiful Locs are wrapped around him!!! True Rasta!!! Jah Love!!! Much Love!!
Distant Relatives is legendary and a classic
Bob Marley had to have had the strongest genes on the planet. You KNOW his kids when you see or even hear them.
jcanbrownboy bro I had the same thoughts. Even the grand kids are getting it.
Yes indeed! You can recognize his children in a second...put them all together and you see Bob's face in print!
My grandpa had same kinda genes. 3 kids all look like him. 7 grandkids 6 look like him. Last one born came years after he passed. And she looks the most like him, spitting image. So much that i call her grandpa...
You should see mine and grandkids, I can’t believe it myself sometimes, it is real🎯
When he compared Jamaican politics to crips and bloods, he painted a vivid, accurate picture.
What a man, his humility is admirable!! And his music is the essence to my soul. 🔥💜
Damian Marley,big respect!
What a great interview. Vlad had great questions and Damian is one of the more thoughtful interviewees I've ever seen
Vlad, thanks for this. This interview is one of your best yet. Big ups to Damian and the Marley family! RIP Bob Marley
Such a humble spirit. I was raised listening to a lot of Bob Marley among many others. I will never forget the Marleys, no matter how much Hip Hop I listen to. I will always vibe with to some Marley.
Edit- High AF too lmao, but it seems like such a clean high.
I tell you something, most Rasta men are lol, it’s the energy just different they got to be doing something right.
Best gong interview of the run.
JR GONG, BONAFIDE LEGEND
lemmieatit bruh he is a legend listen to his body of work
BrxRck ♡
Probably the best and most in depth interview with Damian so far.
Can u Interview Mutabaruka, he's a real popular intelligent poet/radio personality from Jamaica
Now we talking
Mutabaruka, would not be interested. He would be troubled by what he has to say.
Hahah glad would be the goat for that one😭
I love Damien Marley. Wise man to say we must celebrate our victories too. We have to see a life for ourselves without struggle. Yes iyah!
The cap say it ALL. RESPECT. Great interview with a great talented, smart an handsome man, after all MS World Cindy BreakSphere , an the legend Bob Marley, the apple doesn’t fall from the tree. ❤️
I love how he took his own lane and owned it. Dude is a legend.
Thank you providing the full Interview
This is the best interview I've seen Vlad do for the longest time.
I can tell that a lot of people don't understand the distinctiveness of Dancehall music from traditional Raegae.
They should definitely have a part 2 for this.. I could listen to him for hours
Respect to the OG reggae gods.... bob, Dennis brown, Garnett Silk
I love you Vlad for this interview, much appreciated!. This has to be your best interview. Really cool interview, wish it was longer though!. Thank you for this awesome interview!. One love! 🙏
