Ziggy Marley's newest album, Fly Rasta, was released last Tuesday, April 15. The Recording Academy Los Angeles Chapter hosted an exclusive event the day after its release where the singer discussed exploring his Rasta roots and the messages behind some songs. He also performed a small set including songs from the album and a cover of his father, Bob Marley's "So Much Trouble in the World." Download the new album on iTunes.

Marley referred to this song as metaphor for global warming. He says he wanted to make something that was "easy to listen to" and it sure is. The mellow rhythm along with the quick drums create a soft melody that anyone can vibe out to. Check out the performance above.

This relaxed song about perseverance is for when you need a pick-me-up or when you just want to jam to some Ziggy Marley. Either way, check out the great performance below.
