- Last month we were honored to meet and interview the one and only Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley after his fantastic show in Warsaw, Poland. The author of Grammy-Award winning "Stony Hill" album shared his favorite memories from growing up in Stony Hill neighborhood in Kingston, Jamaica, talked about covering his father's songs during live shows, developing his unique style, as well as working with his brother Stephen, their incredible chemistry and idea of them making a duo album.
"Jr. Gong" also looked back on his classic duo album with Nas "Distant Relatives" from 2010, remembered a funny story from the time he worked with Jay-Z on the song "BAM" from Jay's "4:44" album, and looked back on his legacy and shared his message for the young upcoming artists. Enjoy!

These brothers are solid they keep the Jamaica accent all day.
I love hearing him talk, Damian is so wise
I love reggae, and all the Marleys, but in my opinion Damian inherited the majority of his father's talent.
Stephen Marley as well. His first solo album✊
He is amazing had the pleasure of sitting right in front of him at his concert last Friday at Dry Diggins and he made me feel like the only girl in the room lol. Always respectful always gracious and always loving and intelligent. Of course when he waited for me to sing the lyrics to beautiful I froze and choked and he laughed 🤦🏻♂️ I was so so embarrassed.Always always a down to earth gentleman so well spoken and versed and the only well known artist that lives as a regular human being and doesn’t care about fame and fortune and that is what makes him so special. Fame and fortune are not anything of desire to me never has been and never will be and to see an artist daily use their platform for good and to create change and dress humbly as a normal man and not care about the flashy clothes and money and jewelry and pushes for change and a cause is what sets him apart. He really is the true Jr.Gong. Really the only celebrity that I think I could hold an intelligent conversation with and even debate about things most folks don’t educate themselves enough about or know enough about.
What a wonderful experience you had! I feel the same and hope to get an opportunity to see Damian perform live. He’s my fav of the Marley family❤
@@kiamichelle7921he is a King surely
@@pandapanda3762 I’ve seen him many times, but it’s been a few years and I was tempted to buy a ticket to Dry Diggens but it was too expensive and a long drive.
@@kiamichelle7921 oh you must see him live, it’s a religious experience, at least it is for me. ♥️💛💚

Amazing person, watched the video with a big smile on my face and huge tears in my eyes. Sing bro, sing forever , sing for Bob.

Thank you for asking about distant relatives. That album is so slept on and its amazing. Not a skippable track on it, you can listen to it straight through, that's a classic in my book

Run verse was timeless
Indeed it was! Wish it made the deluxe version of "Michael"! Big Up! / Marcin
Growing up in Bob's time this is the only Marley that is carrying on Bob's legacy
Thanks for the comment! What are your thoughts on Ziggy & Stephen then? I personally think Ziggy has an amazing body of work, Stephen as well, although Stephen's solo discography is not that extensive. All the best! / Marcin

What exactly would you ask about Patience? :) Also, we had only 10 minutes, asked about the album with Nas as a whole. All the best! / Marcin
What happened to this family??? These past few years we’ve seen Babylon show it’s teeth more and more.
What?
his wife was a great Christian lady before she meet jz !!!! pure evil !!!! that little man !!! jz
@@pandapanda3762 JZ'S WIFE B IM TALKINKING ABOUT
@@pandapanda3762 HOW DOSE JZ AND HIS SATAN WIFE B !!! HAVE TO DO !!!!
@@Christos-Georgiou ah. 😂 lol ….yeah definitely would never ever want to be famous…that kind of life has to be so immensely stressful and I am a very very private person. I totally get when celebrities keep their life and kids and spouses private to protect them. Known quite a few folks who worked in Hollywood with the elite and returned home and said it wasn’t for them and told me the horror stories they witnessed. I’ve never understood why people want to be famous so bad.
@@pandapanda3762 NOT HIS WIFE BUT JZ'S WIFE BEFORE I CARRY ON !!!! YOU SPOKE ABOUT PEOPLE WHISHING TO BE KNOWN !!!! WE ALL WONT TO BE KNOWN BUT SOME FOR GOOD REASONS AND OTHERS FOR BAD REASONS !!!
@@Christos-Georgiou maybe a lot want to be known. I personally don’t care about that aspect of life at ALL. I care most about my CALLING. Living out what I was put here for and not getting that part wrong, helping affect as many peoples lives in a way that makes them happier or better or even the moment they see me or speak to me affects them in a happier way etc. I know there are others out there like me that could care less about being known. But you are right there are folks who want to be known or have power for the right and wrong reasons I think nowadays most for the wrong and self gain.
