Nas & Damien Marley - Distant Relatives

Nas and Damien Marley's Distant Relatives collaboration album is out on the 18th of May.

Their reason behind this collaboration is mainly because they both feel that Africa is not where it should be by now, especially considering that's where their roots are. They are giving all proceeds of this album to building schools in Africa, possibly in Congo. 'This is a school building album' said Damien.

The album will consist of African music samples. Damien and Stephen Marley have produced most of the tracks on the album. They are rumored to be featuring the likes of Stephen (himself), Stevie Wonder, Joss Stone, Snoop Dogg, Lil Wayne and K'naan.

Their single, As we Enter, (video shots attached above), was released on February the 23rd peaking at number 10 on iTunes Hip Hop charts and number 42 on iTunes Music Charts.

'Strong will Continue' is to feature in the soundtrack for the 2010 Fifa World Cup Video Game.

I can't wait for the album to come out this side.
