bob marley

Bob Marley has left an indelible mark on the music industry, and his legacy continues to thrive even after his passing. His music continues to be bought and streamed by millions of people worldwide, and his influence can be seen in the work of contemporary musicians. In fact, his impact is so profound that he has made his way back onto the Billboard Hot 100 chart, not as a performer but as a songwriter.

This week, Bob Marley's grandson, YG Marley, makes his debut on the Hot 100 chart with his single 'Praise Jah in the Moonlight.' This track samples Marley's own song 'Crisis,' which he recorded with his band, the Wailers, and released in 1978 on their album 'Kaya.' It's a remarkable feat for YG Marley, and it marks his breakthrough hit as an artist.
