THE WASHINGTON REDSKINS HAVE SIGNED BOB MARLEY’S GRANDSON, NICO MARLEY, AS AN UNDRAFTED FREE AGENT!

May 17th, 2017 | Add a Comment

For the time being, Nico Marley is known for being reggae legend Bob Marley’s grandson. The Washington Redskins hope Nico Marley becomes known more for his football ability. The Redskins signed Marley as an undrafted free agent from Tulane on Tuesday, after he worked out for them as a tryout player in their rookie minicamp this past weekend. Marley and the Redskins know he’s an underdog — a 5-foot-8 inside linebacker who weighs 200 pounds. That’s about 30 to 40 pounds lighter than most inside linebackers in a 3-4 defense. Marley had spent the offseason learning strong safety, too. In Washington’s rookie minicamp, Marley worked with the linebackers.

HOW BOB MARLEY’S GRANDSON SKIP, FULFILLING THE MUSICAL DESTINY!

November 24th, 2015 | Add a Comment

Meet reggae royal Skip Marley. By Maxwell Losgar— “My music is about peace, love, and happiness. Unity. Togetherness,” says Skip Marley, 19, as he settles in at the Dream Midtown hotel in Manhattan to talk about launching his solo career. “It’s about good vibes and good times. Just living your life. This is music for the people.” Like Uncle Ziggy, who stormed the scene in the ’80s, this member of the Marley tribe has an uncanny physical resemblance to its legendary patriarch, pop culture icon Bob Marley. But the similarities run much deeper than surface level: Skip’s entire persona is a natural extension of his late grandfather’s. Sitting down to talk with the reggae royal was similar to what you’d imagine meeting Bob would be like—it was almost as if he’d time traveled. “Even though … Read entire article »

When wi start play it, everybody get “excited”, he recalled. The result of that ‘exciting’ jam is the Positive, a beat driven by songs from a number of old school and emerging roots acts such as Big Youth, Sangie Davis, Linval Thompson, Johnny Clarke, Jah9, Jesse Royal, and Brian Gold. Meredith played bass on the track accompanied by veteran musicians Earl ‘Chinna’ Smith (guitar), … Read entire article »
