The 5 time Grammy winner has just released his much anticipated 2nd studio Album,
REVALATION PART: 1 THE ROOT OF LIFE out 5/23/2011. His single “No Cigarette Smoke (In My Room)” featuring Melanie Fiona was released early March 2011, and is included on the album.
Born in Delaware and raised in Kingston Jamaica; Stephen Robert Nesta "Raggamuffin" Marley, the 4th child of Bob Marley has primarily been involved in the production side of the music business for many years. He produced brother Damian (Jr. Gong) 3 solo albums and brother Julian, and was the executive producer on the Bob Marley 1999 album CHANT DOWN BABYLON.
Stephens debut album MIND CONTROL, out in 2007 won a 2008 Grammy, and again he won a Grammy for the same album in 2010 titled MIND CONTROL, Acoustic. A great album if you like the reggae style of Bob Marley. Stephen is old school reggae, and his phraseology, and tonal formation, could easily be mistaken for the late, great Bob Marley himself. Of all the Marley boys in the business, he is the one most likely to keep the traditional Reggae sound alive. He remains in the background as music producer, but hopefully he will continue to release new material to keep us coming back for more.
He was a member of “Ziggy Marley & the Melody Makers” with his siblings: Ziggy (David), and sisters Sharon & sister Cedella, and he and Brother Damien (Jr. Gong) performed and recorded as the “Marley Boyz”. He is a guest performer on numerous songs by other artist albums as well as making personal appearances, but nothing can compare to his riveting live performance as a solo artist.
Like his father he sings about social strife and injustice to the reggae beat. If you are a Bob Marley or Stephan Marley fan, this CD is a must have. It features: Waled, The cast of FELA, Capitan, Damian Jr. Gong Marley, Ziggy Marley, Spragga Benz, and Melania Fiona for a successful mix or reggae beats, sure to get your toe tapping. Revelation Part 2 is to be released later this year, or when he gets around to it..
