Skip Marley Wanted 'Uncle Toots' to Win the Grammy

Most first-time Grammy nominees will tell you its an honor just to be nominated, but the truth is they want to win—badly. When Reshma B spoke with Skip for the Boomshots new documentary 'Let's Take It Higher,' he said "Mi wan' my uncle win that, Uncle Toots." Got to respect this humble youth, and his reverance for the "pinnacles of reggae music" like his grandfather Bob Marley, and of course Uncle Toots (Rest in Peace).
Right now in this time, we have to take this to a Higher Place" #SkipMarley

Let's Take it Higher' is a 25-minute documentary that portrays @SkipMarley at home during the pandemic living life just like the rest of us—washing his hands, eating healthy, exercising, spending time with family and his pet dogs, keeping in touch with loved ones via Facetime—and making music. The first-time Grammy nominee is up for two awards in 2021—one for Best Reggae Album (for his debut project 'Higher Place') and another for Best R&B Song (for "Slow Down," his hit duet with H.E.R.).

The film includes family movies from Skip's childhood, and candid interviews with many of his collaborators on the project—H.E.R., Damian "Jr Gong" Marley, Rick Ross, and D. Smoke—as well as his mother Cedella Marley, pop star Katy Perry, and very special appearances by Skip's aunt Marcia Griffiths—who toured the world with Bob Marley as a member of his backing trio the I Threes—and with Skip's grandmother, the legendary Rita Marley. There's also an interview with the members of the iconic reggae band Inner Circle, who recorded with and performed with Bob Marley in the 1970s, and who say that Skip has "nuff of Bob's vibes."

The film was directed by Reshma B and co-produced by Rob Kenner for Boomshots Media.
