Through every dark nook and corner, Damian’s voice and message helped us heal and rise. Now, when things are changing, we can’t be more thankful to NPR and Damian Marley for the strength and the medicinal vibration. Never say die, Rastafari! Peace be to all 💚

      “The righteous man perishes, and no one lays it to heart; devout men are taken away, while no one understands. For the righteous man is taken away from calamity; he enters into peace; they rest in their beds who walk in their uprightness.”

    Skip Marley is keeping the name and legacy alive and is up for a Grammy with an amazing album. Bob's music and influence is still touching generations

    One of the best pieces of live music I have heard in probably over 10 years. Marley magic. Tuff gong. Timeless.

    Jr Gong has always produced top notch, thought provoking, hearticle music for years. Truly one of the greats. Has definitely pushed not only his family name, but his genre as a whole on to the next level. I've been a fan since "Mr Marley " in the 90's.

      Actually I think remember a tune about education to the tune of Informer before his first album came out. I think???

    Speak life makes me cry every time I hear it, our family was going through so much during the time this album came out. Thank you for your conscious lyrics. The Marleys music have lead the conscious people of the world, kept us inspired even when we want to give up on the human race.
