Nas & Damian Marley: Distant Relatives
June 30th, 2009 by Erin
There’s nothing I love more than a collaboration. Hrm, actually, let me rephrase that: a good collaboration.
In my opinion Nas and Damian Marley could not bring us their new album, Distant Relatives, any sooner. Although a release date has not been set, my anticipation is currently taking orbit ever since their collaboration on the song “Road to Zion” on Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley’s album Welcome to Jamrock.
In the Distant Relatives preview, Marley says:
This project is to come together and do some music on behalf of Africa. That is really what the whole thing’s about; to bring awareness.
This album will be heavily focused on the duo’s shared African roots and the hip-hop/reggae sound will be backed with samples from African music.
Review’s coming as soon as we get our anxious little hands on it.
Peter Tosh – Live @ Reggae Sunsplash ‘79
March 6th, 2007 by AlexThis clip of Peter Tosh singing Legalize It reminds me how strongly he feels about his message. The performance begins like clockwork but by the end you can tell how blazed he is, obviously unable to finish the songs.
You can’t knock Tosh and reggae music. He’s always had that smooth reggae sound. So take some time off, kick your feet up and enjoy this timeless clip.
