Meet the reggae-star grandson of Bob Marley, singer-songwriter YG Marley
The late, great Bob Marley is the undisputed king of reggae. And for music lovers of a certain age, Lauryn Hill, who had a long-term relationship with his son Rohan, is one of the greatest singers of her generation. It should come as no surprise then that their progeny are finding success in the family business.
Hill's third child, Joshua Omaru Marley, performs as YG Marley and is making a name for himself as a reggae star like his grandfather. Last October he paired up with Nigerian superstar and four-time Grammy nominee Davido on Afrobeats track 'Awuke', and most recently worked with 'I Know What You Want' rapper Busta Rhymes on the track 'Treasure & Gold'.
His own debut single, 'Praise Jah in the Moonlight', was released in December 2023 and certified platinum at the end of 2024. YG Marley (centre) with mother Lauryn Hill and her former Fugees bandmate, Wyclef Jean. Photo: @ygmarley/Instagram
