Well, the Grammys were just held in LA a few weeks ago.
I must say, it was probably one of the best Grammy shows that I recall seeing.
There were some very nice performances in all genres (loved Bruno Mars, Eminem, and Mick Jagger.)
There were also a few awards given out that were well-deserved.
But I want to flash back to the 2006 show.
It was there that Damian "Junior Gong" Marley picked up two trophies, one for Best Reggae Album, and one for Best Urban/Alternative Performance for the song "Welcome to Jamrock".
This song is true reggae.
Marley covers the issues of crime, poverty, and political corruption as part of the harsh realities of Jamaica.
He paints a picture quite different than the "Come to Jamaica and Feel Alright" commercials.
In this sense, he truly carries on his father's legacy encouraging Jamaicans to stand together and also urging those in charge to do something about the injustices.
