Jr. Gong teams up with renowned producer Scoop DeVille to tackle scams and corruption in their latest collaboration
Damian Marley raises the flag with "Banner"
Four-time Grammy Award-winning artist and acclaimed producer Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley has dropped the video for his impactful new track "Banner," with the official release slated for Friday, October 11th.
Collaborating with renowned producer Scoop DeVille—whose impressive resume includes work with Kendrick Lamar, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Nipsey Hussle, 50 Cent, and Busta Rhymes—Damian continues to push creative boundaries and elevate his artistry.
This homegrown anthem tackles critical issues such as scams, absent fathers, police misconduct, and widespread corruption. With its raw, thought-provoking lyrics, the song urges listeners to hold firm to their morals amidst the chaos. “Give thanks the righteous still a wave dem banner,” Marley powerfully states.
"Banner" precedes the release of his poignant summer single "Wisemen," which offers a rare perspective on love and relationships. In it, Damian reflects, “True love is hard to find. And even if it don’t exist you cannot fault a man for trying.”
Earlier this year, Damian released “My Sweet Lord,” a spiritual reinterpretation of George Harrison’s iconic track, which received high praise from George Harrison’s wife, Olivia Harrison, and the George Harrison Estate. His latest three singles have been released under the Ghetto Youth International (GYI) record label, co-owned by Damian and his brothers, Stephen and Julian Marley.
Damian recently concluded a 22-date Marley Brothers Legacy Tour across North America, performing alongside Ziggy Marley, Stephen Marley, Julian Marley, and Ky-Mani Marley. The tour wrapped up on October 5th in Miami.
