While many would rest on their laurels after going platinum in just five days, JAY-Z is continuing his movement with the official YouTube release for “BAM” featuring Damian Marley. In the video, you’ll find the rap legend exploring Bob Marley’s old neighborhood in Trenchtown, Jamaica with the legend’s son Damian. The video opens up with an aerial view of Bob Marley’s old stomping grounds while Damian provides narration about the village where his father born was raised. In addition, “BAM” samples Sister Nancy’s “Bam Bam” which serves as the backdrop in the video, creating the ideal setting for Jay and Damian as they discuss Rastafarian culture and its influence on hip-hop as we know it.
