Which of Bob Marley's sons won a Grammy for 'Welcome to Jamrock'?

The story behind the answer

Damian Marley won a Grammy for “Welcome to Jamrock.”

Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley released “Welcome to Jamrock” as the lead single from his third studio album, also titled Welcome to Jamrock, in 2005. The song describes crime, poverty and political corruption in Jamaica rather than presenting the country only as a tourist paradise.

At the 48th Grammy Awards in 2006, Damian won Best Urban/Alternative Performance for the song. The album also won Best Reggae Album, giving him two Grammy Awards connected with the project.

Damian is Bob Marley's youngest son with Cindy Breakspeare. The other options are also Grammy-winning Marley family members, which makes this question easy to confuse: Stephen Marley has won multiple Grammys, while Julian and Ziggy Marley have their own award histories. However, “Welcome to Jamrock” is specifically Damian's song, and Stephen served as a producer and collaborator on the album.
