Watch Damian Marley Perform A Powerful Acapella Version Of “Slave Mill”

On his recent album Stony Hill, his first solo record since 2005, Damian Marley offers dancehall jams, roots meditations, and political statements, like "Slave Mill." In a new video, directed by B+, Marley performs an acapella snippet of the song in Stony Hill, Jamaica.

"The original inspiration was the news and seeing the things that were happening over the recent years — like Trayvon Martin," Damian Marley told The FADER over the phone. "It grew to a much wider range of topics but that was the seed of it. We were taking some pictures and the photographer [B+], who is a close friend of mine, thought it would be a good idea to catch an acapella snippet of the song."
