Grammy Winning Star Up for Record Sixth Grammy for Acclaimed Album
                             Mind Control

           Most Grammy-Honored Star in Reggae Music History
NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--Multiple-Grammy winning artist/producer, Stephen Marley (he holds
the Reggae record with five Grammy wins) was nominated, for Best
Reggae Album for his 2007 masterpiece Mind Control. The much
anticipated 50th Annual Grammy Awards will be held at the Staples
Center in Los Angeles, on February 10, 2008.

   "Every Grammy I have ever received has been an honor and I'm
grateful to be nominated this year," stated Marley.

   Stephen is the third consecutive Marley (hailing from the great
Marley musical dynasty) to be nominated in the Best Reggae Album
category, with Ziggy Marley taking home the award at the 49th Annual
Grammy Awards for Love Is My Religion, and brother Damian "Jr. Gong"
Marley winning at the 48th Grammys for Welcome To Jamrock.

   Mind Control (Tuff Gong/ Ghetto Youths/ Universal-Republic) landed
at #1 of the coveted Billboard Reggae Chart, and in the upper tier of
the Billboard Top 40 Album Chart, as well. Critics raved about the
groundbreaking album, with People Magazine calling it a "masterful
fusion of reggae and hip hop,'" Entertainment Weekly seconded that
notion, calling Mind Control the best Marley album in a generation.

   Stephen snagged his fifth Grammy award for his triumphant
co-production work on brother Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley's acclaimed
RIAA certified Gold disc Welcome To Jamrock, making him the most
honored Grammy winner of the Marley family, as well as netting him the
most Grammy wins of any other Reggae artist in history.

   The 50th Annual Grammy Awards will be held at the Staples Center
in Los Angeles, on February 10, 2008. The telecast will be broadcast
on the CBS Television Network at 8:00 PM/EST/PT.
