Ziggy Marley Says God Is Bigger Than Individualism (PHOTOS)

GlobalGrind sat down with reggae sensation Ziggy Marley to talk about his new album "Wild & Free" which is in stores today, June 14th. For Marley, the album is entirely a work of self expression and features some revamped tracks from 20 years ago that he still feels strongly about.

Marley also has a comic book coming out titled "Marijuana Mann," which follows a Superhero who derives his power from the plant itself. Ziggy doesn't bite his tongue what o ever, as he talks about the forceful political structure in Third World countries, recreational marijuana and the harm of that pharmaceutical drugs.

Still a revolutionary, Ziggy Marley touches base on a lot of subjects he's not afraid to get dirty with, so check out the interview below and go cop the album "Wild &Free"!

GlobalGrind: Can you tell us a litle more about "Wild & Free"?

Ziggy Marley: "Wild and Free" is my new album, it's going to be out June 14th. It’s a reggae album, produced by Don Was and myself. It has a lot of different themes that run through the album, but I think something that I’m most concerned with enlightening people about is the use of cannabis being recreational. Not in medicinal purposes, but the industrial uses. So that's why "Wild & Free" kind of sings about that topic. I think it’s very important that all the natural resources we have here on the earth should be put to use to benefit the people. This is one natural resource that is being neglected. I think it shouldn’t be neglected, I think it should be used. But the album has songs about revolution and materialism and my personal life. 

What’s your favorite song on the album?

My favorite song on the album is "Mmmm Mmmm."

What do you love about "Mmmm Mmmm"?

It’s a spiritual song you know, close to my heart.

What does it talk about?

Well it talks about, for you to understand the concept of God. If you really know what it is. It talks about the person in me taking a vow in my spiritual journey, it's a spiritual song.
