Damian ‘Jr Gong’ Marley
After the Grammy Award-winning artist’s Set Up Shop compilation, Damian ‘Jr Gong’ Marley is now putting in Hard Work, according to his latest single which has been receiving tremendous reviews since its debut.
The single is released from the Ghetto Youths International’s Set Up Shop Vol. 2 compilation scheduled to drop this fall.
The lyrical genius goes into business mode as the Hard Work single speaks to the necessary work needed in generating income. The wit-laden piece reflects a plethora of metaphors and similes as Marley shows the progression from setting up shop to achieving the goal through hard work.
