Bob Marley’s grandson Skip Marley is making his own name for himself in the music arena and just unveiled his debut video “Lions.” Marley described his uprising track is an intense call to action that “shows people when we are strong and unified no evil can get us.”
Moving the people he sings,
“We are the lions, we are the chosen/ We gonna shine out the dark/ We are the movement, this generation/ You better know who we are, who we are.”
Although reggae is at the root of his music, Skip Marley says of his sound which also fuses soca, Hip-Hop and EDM,
“I’m coming from a new generation, blending influences and letting it come out organically in the music.”
Like his legendary grandfather, Skip added,
“I want to spread my music to the people and help them unify. I want people to take away a message of love, of looking at the way you are living and thinking where we can work to be our best. Whatever they’re feeling, I want them to be able to turn up my music and think, relax, and get good vibes.”
Skip is also featured on Katy Perry’s current hit single “Chained to the Rhythm” and has performed the track at both the 2017 Grammy Awards and the 2017 Brit Awards.
Check the videos below of both “Lions” and “Chained to the Rhythm” as Skip carries on the Marley legacy.
