Nas and Damian Marley on their ‘Distant Relatives’ collaboration
Nas and Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley recorded one excellent single together, “Road to Zion,” in 2005. As much as I enjoyed hearing the N.Y. rap legend and the reggae scion play off each other’s styles on that track, though, I never guessed that they would be following it up four years later with a full collaborative album, Distant Relatives, tentatively set for release this June. Turns out, neither did they.
