Kabaka Pyramid + Damian Marley - Red Gold and Green (Official Video)
Red, Gold & Green, three colours, which signifies so much to so many. For Kabaka Pyramid and Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley it was worthy enough to unite their musical synergy to highlight the significance of the colours to Rastafari tradition and Reggae music. Red, Gold & Green is brimming with the nuanced context often missing from the message. This missing context is remarkably packed into immaculate verses for which both artists are well known. Not only is Damian Marley featured, but he is also the producer of this single.
The name “Kabaka” is Ugandan for “King” and the long-lasting survival of the Pyramids of ancient Africa represent his desire for longevity in the music and deep connection to Kemetic roots; leaving messages for generations to come. Kabaka Pyramid is well known for songs like Warrior, Well Done, Can’t Breathe, which focused more keenly on the underprivileged who often are overlooked and ignored by society – and the powers that be, and Reggae Music that took on a life of its own. His debut album Kontraband, was met with critical acclaim, containing hits such as Kontraband featuring Damian Marley, Kaught Up with a popular music video that found home on BET, and Reggae Music.
