Stephen Marley cops Grammy with Mind Control
 Stephen Marley carries on the Marley tradition where the Grammy Award is concerned. Last year Ziggy won it with "Love Is My Religion" and this year Stephen cops it with "Mind Control."
Stephen Marley has come a long way from the child who first appeared on record in 1979, when he was only six years old. With his brother Ziggy, the young Stephen recorded the single "Children Playing in the Streets," a charity single with the profits going to the United Nations to aid its efforts during the International Year of the Child.
Stephen played a supportive role in the Melody Makers from the beginning as guitarist, singer, and occasional songwriter. To satisfy his creative interests outside the group, Stephen decided to become familiar with the music industry from behind the scenes.
But a talent like his could not be placed on the back burner for long and so Stephen went ahead with 'Mind Control' in 2007 – leading to his proud moment yesterday when he took the Grammy for Best Reggae Album.
In winning Stephen edged out Burning Spear, Lee Scratch Perry, Sly & Robbie and Toots and the Maytals.
YardFlex congratulates Stephen Marley on his achievement.

why is always the marleys. I could name 10 better albums that came out last year. They never give it to anyone who is a lesser known artist. It is always someone like a marley or toots or spear. They are great and legendary but when will the Grammy Committee begin to honor the artists that most Jamaicans and harcore reggae fans listen to? what about Richie Spice?Sizzla?Jah Mason?Morgan Heritage?No one else even gets nomianated! Just had to vent...........

that's crazy eventhough i respect the Marley family's musical abilities and talents. this year 2008 grammy thing a joke, in a catagory withsuch greats like- Lee Scratch Perry Sly and Robbie, and Burning Spears; the winners in my opinion should have been between either of the three Scatch, Sly & Robbie, or Burning Spears dem man dey a play and produce music before Stephen even think about being born. Stephen is very creative yes,don't get me wrong, but dem man deh a foundation. too much politricks with the grammys. By the way, why weren't the reggae artists televised recieving their awards????

Mek mi talk dis ting ya; mi respect and love the Honorable Robert Nesta Marley to no end but at the same time a have to say that this grammy thing is straight F**KERY!!! Last year there were better albums than the one the Marley put out and the same thing this year. Plus anotha ting when is a dancehall artist gonna win??? that is the music that real reggae fans favor so why they dont even get mentioned??? again mi say a Straight F**KERY??
