Fly Rasta is the fifth solo studio album by Jamaican reggae artist Ziggy Marley. It was released on 15 April 2014, via Tuff Gong Worldwide. Produced by Ziggy Marley himself with Dave Cooley's additional production, it features guest appearances from Cedella Marley, Ian "Beezy" Coleman and U-Roy.
The album debuted at number 129 on the Billboard 200, number 22 on the Independent Albums and atop the Reggae Albums charts in the United States. It won a Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards held on February 8, 2015.
It was supported with singles "Fly Rasta" and "Lighthouse". AOL released a music video for "I Don't Wanna Live on Mars" exclusively on their web-page. The video features his real-life wife and kids in a dream sequence where their family traverses an unhealthy planet Earth. The song and video's imagery convey a unified message from Marley that we should treat the earth well so we do not all have to leave to live on Mars.
