Are you guys wondering what the status on Nas’ and Damian Marley collaborative album? MMIM reported on this project back in February. Well a press statement has been released to explain the details…
The album features the signature instrumentation and musicianship of Marley with the hard hitting beats and lyrics of Nas. Throughout the course of their musical careers, the duo has taught each other and always admired each other’s style. Since first meeting in 1996 the two artists have shared a mutual respect and camaraderie that was most recently showcased on “Road to Zion,” a standout track from Damian’s critically acclaimed album, Welcome to Jamrock. After having such a positive experience working together, they have now joined forces again for Distant Relatives.
The album title refers not only to the bond of Nas and Damian, but the bond to their African ancestry, which inspired the album both musically and lyrically. “Africa is the backbone of the world and the foundation of everything and Africans are in a situation where they need help more than anywhere else,” notes Damian Marley. “We know there are dire situations here in America but when you look at America—with public libraries and free education—these are not opportunities most Africans have. It’s a completely different scale of trying to help people. As humans beings, we’re part of a human family.”
Nas agrees, “As an American, we have so much even in a so-called recession that a neighborhood like Queensbridge or Red Hook is Beverly Hills compared to the way people are living in Nigeria, Sierre Leone, and Ghana,” says the emcee. “So obviously if we making records with that theme, there’s gonna be things I want to build on. I think Africa has a lot to teach us.”
I’m definitely looking forward to this project and it sounds like it will be a interesting collboration. The two will also go on tour together after the album is released.
Nas To Record Album With Damian Marley
Billboard Magazine has reported that Nas plans on working on a collaborative project with reggae artist Damian Marley. Apparently these two have already started recording some material for this project and they are looking to start touring this summer in order to promote the untitled album.
It has also been reported that the album may only be available for purchase through Best Buy or Target with some of the proceeds being donated towards building a school in Africa. MMIM is looking forward to seeing how this project unfolds between these two great minds.
