DAMIAN ‘JR. GONG’ MARLEY’ DROPS POTENT SINGLE ‘BANNER’ CHALLENGING THE STATUS QUO
Damian ‘Jr. Gong’ Marley isn’t holding back. In his electrifying new single, Banner, the reggae icon cuts deep into society’s cracks. Tackling scams, absent fathers, police misconduct, and corruption, Marley’s lyrics are a wake-up call.
Over Scoop DeVille’s razor-sharp music production, Damian Marley delivers, “Give thanks the righteous still a wave dem banner,” a line destined to ignite reflection.
The accompanying video amplifies the song’s weight, sparking conversations far beyond reggae’s borders. Released under his Ghetto Youths International label, Banner is conscious reggae at its finest—music crafted to inspire reflection and ignite change.
BANNER IS CONSCIOUS REGGAE AT ITS FINEST
Banner follows Marley’s haunting summer release, Wisemen, a love ballad with raw honesty: “True love is hard to find. And even if it don’t exist you cannot fault a man for trying.”
Earlier this year, he reimagined George Harrison’s My Sweet Lord, earning praise from the Harrison Estate.
With his Ghetto Youths International label and a star-studded legacy tour alongside his brothers, Damian proves his fire isn’t fading. Instead, he’s raising his banner for truth, resilience, and change. If Banner is any indication, Damian Marley is here to remind us why reggae remains the voice of the people.
ABOUT DAMIAN MARLEY
Damian ‘Jr. Gong’ Marley is reggae royalty with a legacy all his own. The youngest son of Bob Marley, he shattered boundaries in 2005 by becoming the first reggae artist to win a Grammy outside the Reggae category. His explosive hit Welcome to Jamrock earned two Grammys, including Best Reggae Album.
From the socially charged Distant Relatives with Nas to the genre-bending Make It Bun Dem with Skrillex, Marley pushes creative limits. His Grammy-winning album Stony Hill (2018) and star-studded Medication remix keep his impact undeniable.
