THE 'GANG WAR RHYTHM RAMS THE DANCEHALL FROM KINGSTON TO NEW  YORK AND LONDON

Kicking Off GHETTO YOUTHS INTERNATIONAL Ramp-Up,

All-Star One-Rhythm Compilation

Set To Be Released In July

NEW YORK — With eleven versions featuring fourteen of dancehall's biggest names, the GANG WAR RHYTHM is the fresh, tough champion sound of Summer, 2007. Starring on this album are today's masters of dancehall, including three-time Grammy winner Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley, with his metaphoric "One Loaf of Bread (Something for You);" and two of the hottest newer hands in dancehall, hardcore singer Mavado and three-man vocal threat Voice Mail, joining Vybz Kartel.

            A impressive roster of dancehall's most-honored veterans also take part in the "Gang War" compilation, including Bad Boy recording artist Elephant Man, Bounty Killer, Sizzla Kolonji, and Wayne Marshall. With its portentious symphonic depth, propulsive drumming and a nagging sampled woodwind hook, the "Gang War" rhythm has had DJs and dancers worldwide ringing the alarm from the dance floor ever since the first versions were released to the dancehall club underground earlier this spring.

            The GANG WAR RHYTHM comes to the American hip-hop scene with an impeccable double pedigree: the creator of the rhythm is Trevor "Baby G" James, son and protégé of Lloyd "King Jammy" James. Additionally, the album is released in the U.S. market by GHETTO YOUTHS INTERNATIONAL, and is run by two Bob Marley sons, Stephen and Damian. With brother Julian also on the roster, the Ghetto Youths International label is launching a major expansion of its market presence this year, with albums in preparation by reggae singing sensation Javaughn and world-renowned rapper Mr. Cheeks, to follow the GANG WAR RHYTHM compilation. The first album released through Ghetto Youths International's U.S. distributor, Universal, was the 2002 Grammy-winning Halfway Tree, by Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley.

           

The GANG WAR RHYTHM collection is completed with the instrumental of the original track, and a "Gang War Medley," featuring album tracks "juggled" by Damian Marley and Baby G. An all-star video shot to the medley version is currently in production. The GANG WAR RHYTHM various-artists album is set to be released July 17, 2007 on Ghetto Youths International/Yard Vybes Entertainment, distributed by Universal.

GANG WAR RHYTHM  Tracklisting:


1) Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley – One Loaf of Bread (Something For You)

2) Bounty Killer – It's Okay

3) Mavado – Me and My Dogs

4) Vybz Kartel featuring Voice Mail – Play Ting

5) Sizzla Kolonji – Too Much Gang War

Check out a snippet of music history. Stephen was joined on stage at the House of Blues in Los Angeles on April 26th by Jr. Gong, Ben Harper, and Chali 2na, shaping an unforgettable night. As if that wasn't enough, an unexpected audience member made it an epic evening - Stevie Wonder joined Stephen and friends on stage for renditions of "Jammin'" and "Could You Be Loved".

     Stephen Marley

 

What the press is saying about his album

"Mind Control"

"…impressive solo debut."

NEW YORK TIMES

"…a masterful fusion of reggae and hip-hop."

PEOPLE MAGAZINE

"…patois-dusted hip-hop tracks like the beatbox-driven single "The Traffic Jam" makes this the best Marley album in a generation."

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

"Humble yet accomplished, the album is a quiet masterpiece—easily the best effort from a Marley progeny yet."

INTERVIEW MAGAZINE

"…an all-in-all impressive offering."

URB MAGAZINE

"êêêê…He kicks out dance-hall-infected reggae/hip-hop jams, carefully balancing political fire and an island-life vibe. His ease with both elements would make his father proud."

SPIN MAGAZINE

Download now…Backed by a beatbox and a few glitchy synths, (The Traffic Jam) has a strip-down hypnotic vibe that leaves plenty of space for the singsong tale to unfold…êêê1/2"

ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE

"…with the release of his first solo effort…this triple-threat entertainer is taking the Marley name to new heights."

JAMROCK MAGAZINE

"…with the release of his long-awaited debut album…the spot light will solely shine on Stephen's talents as an emotive singer, diversified songwriter and accomplished instrumentalist while solidifying his reputation as an innovative, genre-blurring producer."

BILLBOARD MAGAZINE

"Stephen's stellar debut is a winning union of dancehall and hip-hop…the result is striking"

THE VILLAGE VOICE

"…the perfect go-to fix – good for curing a headache, planning a protest or moving your hips on the dance floor."

JANE MAGAZINE

"The versatility of sound here is the greatest triumph of "Mind Control," as Marley shows an aptitude to blend his delivery and style to whatever the track requires, be it political angst, romantic sadness, or even plain old backside moving fun … It is this willingness to test his talents in various musical arenas that makes "Mind Control" an album that is worth experiencing, as the blending of the various sounds, tones, and deliveries here makes for a unique experience from much of urban music today."

GIANT MAGAZINE

"(Traffic Jam) could do for Stephen what Jamrock did for Damian."

MUSIC WEEK (UK)

"On Mind Control, the 34-year-old songwriter emerges as a central figure in modern reggae. High points include the droning, trip-hop excursion "Hey Baby"; the soulful, effects-laden "You're Gonna Leave" that's as silky smooth as a Seal tune; and two conventional reggae tracks ("Chase Dem" and "Lonely Avenue") that would do his father proud."
