Partners with Tru Cannabis to Open Stony Hill Dispensary
in Denver, CO

NEW Album Stony Hill to Debut in January 2017

Friday, September 16, 2016 (Denver, CO)- GRAMMY® Award-winning artist
Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley announces a partnership with Colorado-based cannabis leader, Tru Cannabis, for the brand new Stony Hill dispensary in Denver.

An organically grown partnership, the Stony Hill brand reflects Damian’s style and goes beyond just the product line. This is a full retail dispensary brand where the artist’s inimitable presence can be immediately felt. He personally helped develop and test the dispensary’s namesake and signature-Stony Hill- and it is evocative of his music, passions, and roots.

While many artists have attached and licensed their names to products as part of today’s cannabis renaissance, Marley’s partnership marks the first true alliance between an artist and dispensary. In addition, this news is the first in a series of announcements Damian Marley plans to make this year regarding partnerships and business deals in the cannabis world.

ABOUT DAMIAN “JR. GONG” MARLEY:

The youngest son of Reggae legend Bob Marley, Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley garnered his own place in music history when he became the first ever Reggae artist to win a GRAMMY outside of the “Reggae” category, taking home an award for “Best Urban/Alternative” performance for his title single, “Welcome To Jamrock“. The acclaimed 2005 breakthrough disc Welcome To Jamrock, also won a GRAMMY for “Best Reggae” Album. Marley has been shaking up stages all over the world for the past few years, first in collaboration with Nas on their Distant Relatives project, and then when he went on to partner with Skrillex for their groundbreaking track “Make It Bun Dem,” which Rolling Stone called “a monster mash up of dubstep and dancehall.”
