Last week, Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley reveals the video for his powerful single “Is It Worth It (Gunman World)” off the upcoming compilation Ghetto Youths International Presents Set Up Shop Vol. 2 (out Dec 23). He teamed up with the acclaimed visionary Nabil Elderkin (Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, Frank Ocean, Bon Iver and Seal) and co-director Francesco Carrozzini to capture the essence of this song, which contemplates a killer’s conscience. Elderkin and Carrozzini ventured to Morocco to create this short film featuring actor Saai Taghmaoui (American Hustle, La Haine and Three Kings), who takes on the role of a hitman-for-hire. My only disappointment with this “short” is that there is no appearance by Jr. Gong himself!
Fans can download “Is It Worth It (Gunman World)” now if you pre-order Ghetto Youths International Presents Set Up Shop Vol. 2, available on Ghetto Youths International (the record label owned and operated by Bob Marley’s sons Damian, Julian and Stephen). The album features new material from the brothers and the entire Ghetto Youths roster including Jo Mersa, Black-Am-I, Christopher Ellis, Wayne Marshall, along with dancehall artist Cham.
