Bonus: "Strong will continue"History in the making: The New York Queensbridge Rap & lyricist legend Nasir jones and Jamaica's finest Marley Breed Damian Marley unit to speak up for and about Africa through this upcoming album "Distant Relatives". U got it it's a family affair and when it is so, Ocean nor History differences can't come in the way. And here they are producing this equally unexpected (at least before the first time they mentioned about a year ago) and unlikely album which will probably be like no other at least in its genre.
I've always been ultra receptive when Music could rhyme with 'Sense' and 'Purpose' therefore I'm more than curious to experience this project as soon as it comes out.
As individual artists Nas and Damian Marley have been more or less equally appreciated for their music as well as their conscious lyrics. Even throughout his early Illmatic days Nas always expressed more that street rap in his lyrics. If you'd listend close enough you could always hear the great mind of a Queens kid that new that there was more to it than just the rap game. Later tracks like "If I Ruled the World", 'Black Girl Lost' or "I Can" to name a few made it clear about Nas fiber.
As Far as Damian Marley I guess great music & activism are simply part of his family DNA.
