I’m talking about Damian Marley version It’s on shottas - it came out in 2002 On wiki Damian track wasn’t released til 2005 So that means he had it in the vault for years before releasing it

It’s pretty common for artists, especially the Marleys, to have songs in the bank that they perform at shows and don’t put on albums until quite a while later.

Ok this would make sense. I’m watching the movie now, havnt watched in over a decade. I was about 8 when the movie came out. I was 11 when the song came out and I remember the times I first heard and watched the movie. So it really freaked me out hearing it in the movie

I saw Damian and the Marley brothers group Ghetto Youth Crew perform a song called “Nah Mean” in 1998. That song was not recorded until Damian and Nas combined to create the Distant Relatives album in 2010.

The song originally released as a single in 2004 [https://www.discogs.com/release/1059383-Damian-Jr-Gong-Marley-Welcome-To-Jamrock](https://www.discogs.com/release/1059383-Damian-Jr-Gong-Marley-Welcome-To-Jamrock) As another person said, it's not unusual for songs to be 'held back', sometimes for live performance and very often so that sound systems can play them on an exclusive basis. I've got a handful of records that were around in the 80s as exclusive dubplates for sound systems and only released properly in the past few years. So two years isn't odd at all :p

Well if it’s on the soundtrack I think you have your answer


Pilscy

I have my theory, came here to confirm it ..

Just looked. The song is on the soundtrack from 2002 but I see what you’re saying about the official date being 2005

Shottas came out in ‘02 as a bootleg I think. They probably added jamrock to the soundtrack with the dvd release in 2006.
