Damian Marley has quietly been the best rap artist over last 5 years!

[The-Leak (aka) kingwell (bka) JULES]

What do you peeps think of Ky-Mani Marley?

His album Radio is quality  

Features include Mya, Young Buck & Gail Gotti

puff puff pass

Love that joint.

[WCoastTillIDie]

wait he's considered as a rapper?  He's a reggae artist, but regardless he's talented and I liked him better than Nas on that album (though Nas did bring it as well.)  This thread confuses me though...

[StreetsAllSalute]

I wouldn't unclassify him as a rapper. On most of his features he spits a verse. anyway iv been meaning to respond to this thread since it was posted.

But i somewhat agree with you Infinite. Hes been a dope artist in the last 5 years, a musician to watch for. You know he's putting his all into it if he releases it. He's a quality musician, he can sing and rap. Iv been bumpin Damian since 05, when I first heard "Welcome to Jamrock" (song) it blew me away. It had been a while since I heard a song with that much intensity, it reminded me of some early 90s shit. Iv had the album Welcome to Jamrock in my car for quite a long time and it still gets play, my son likes it too so thats always a plus. My favs on it are Welcome to Jamrock, There for You, Master Has Come Back, Road to Zion, Were Gonna Make It, Were Gunna Make It. Have you heard the bonus songs off it? Theyre all album quality too.

Distant Relatives is a good album, I can bump it straight through. It may end up a classic for me if it stands up against time. All in All Jr Gong is a great artist and is one to definently follow because you know it will be heat. He really knows how to put a show on too so if he comes to your town and want to be entertained GO.. Damian's also had some dope apperances lately, check these out:

NIce post, I'll check out the others you posted.   I know he has a lot of other material I haven't gotten around to checkin out yet, and I also want to check out more of Stephen Marley's work.  I'm just doing it all slowly, there's only so much good music to go around these days, I don't want to play Damian Marley's music out right away.
