A Commentary by Mitch Santell on Family & Legacy The fact that Julian Marley is more like Bob Marley than any of his siblings is, of course, my opinion. The way to articulate how I feel is to listen to Julian's latest album, "As I Am." The two most popular songs off the record are "Are You The One" and "Broken Sail." The track that does it for me is "Cooling In Jamaica.” In my next analysis and evaluation of Julian Marley and his career, I will openly tell you what may happen to Julian Marley if he wins the Grammy for "As I Am" and what I believe could happen if he doesn't win. Julian Marley reminds me of Bob Marley because of the tonality in his voice, and while I have a deep respect for all the Marley Offspring, I get a sense that Julian is the "Blacksheep" in the Family and that is what makes him a real star in my book.

Julian Marley writes music that is just like his Father. That is my take for what it’s worth. If Bob Marley (RIP) were still here, he would be smiling as he listens to "Cooling In Jamaica." To get a further understanding of Julian Marley, I share a piece from a phenomenal article written by Nick Ford. You will find the article link at the end of this quote. Julian Marley, son of the late Reggae King, Bob Marley, is on the list of nominees for the 2020 Grammy Awards to take place later this month on January 26th at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Close to 10 years have passed since Julian’s last album release, which was titled “Awake”, and this is his second nomination for perhaps the most coveted award in music. This time around, ‘JuJu’, which is the moniker he often goes by, has received the Grammy nomination for his fourth full-length album, titled: “As I Am.” And he is certainly in great company as far as the list of this year’s Grammy nominees is concerned: Koffee for the album “Rapture”; “Sly & Robbie & Roots Radics for the album “The Final Battle: Sly & Robbie Vs. Roots Radics”; Steel Pulse for the album “Mass Manipulation”; and Third World for the album “More Work To Be Done”.
