Skip Marley and R&B artiste H.E.R. are at the top of

the Billboard R&B Adult Chart with their sultry duo “Slow Down”.

The song, which was released in November 2019, marks the first

time in nearly a decade and a half that a Jamaican-born artiste has been in the

top 15 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart; the last time

this happened was in 2006 when Sean Paul collaborated with Keyshia Cole for the

song, “When You Gonna Give it Up to Me”.

“Slow Down” which beautifully blends Marley’s reggae sound and

H.E.R.’s soulfulness has earned over 44 million streams globally and taken the

No.1 spot on Mediabase Urban AC (Adult Contemporary) Radio and No. 1 on the

Billboard R&B Adult Chart.

The song has racked up an impressive 12 million views on YouTube.

“I never set my sights on a chart position when we recorded the

song, but I give praise and thanks to the almighty that the music can reach

these heights and connect to a wider audience,” said Marley on the success of the single.

“Ever proud to represent Jamaica achieving new levels in any

endeavor. We apprecialove all the DJs,

programmers, and stations who supported. It takes an army

of Jah soldiers to make this type of noise. Maximum respect to H.E.R. for

lifting the track with her heavenly vocals and much love to Wale for blessing

the remix,” added Marley.
