NAS AND DAMIAN MARLEY, 'DISTANCE RELATIVES'.

When the two artist collaborated on 'road to zion', the lead single of damian's 2005 album, 'welcome to jamrock', the streets was loving the rap and reggae fusion. It was just so appealing to the ear. Plus the two artist have always been known to deliver some of the best conscious music in their individual musical genre.
They are currently working on a collaborative album, 'distant relatives'. Nas recently spoke on the album;

'I just think it was me & damian finding our way. When you have two different artists working on a record, when they're used to doing their own way, it's not easy as people may think. We just flowed, and the next thing we looked up and there were so many songs done or so many songs started and worked. . . we just decided to keep it going. It's not reggae, it's not rap. It's diffirent for each of us.'

Damian also shed some light on the album in a recent interview;
'Once we started working on the music, it was nas who said to me, !"Yo we should just make this a full album".
