YG Marley — the son of Lauryn Hill and Rohan Marley, and grandson of reggae legend Bob Marley — has achieved another remarkable milestone as his debut single “Praise Jah In The Moonlight” is now certified Platinum in both the United Kingdom and the United States. The certification confirms what the charts already suggested: that YG Marley is one of the most significant new voices in reggae music.
The song, which blends classic reggae guitar work with contemporary production sensibilities and YG Marley’s effortlessly melodic vocals, has accumulated hundreds of millions of streams globally since its release and introduced a new generation of listeners to the Marley family legacy.
Industry observers have noted that the song’s success is particularly meaningful given how it balances its reggae roots with mainstream appeal — achieving crossover success without compromising the integrity of the sound that made the Marley name synonymous with authentic Jamaican music.
