Upcoming: Nas & Damian Marley - Distant Relatives Sampler LP
UPDATE: This is now available - to buy please contact us at info@conch.co.nz
The Distant Relatives Sampler LP is due for release in June, to pre-order please contact us at info@conch.co.nzWhat we're about to do right now is go back. Back to a time when rap's greatest hits were created in basement soundrooms, not corporate boardrooms. When dancehall and hip-hop music was all about moving the crowd not "moving units." Before Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley and Nasty Nasir Jones first began treading the long and winding "Road to Zion." The artists' first collaboration went so well that they decided to do a full album together, and that album is Distant Relatives!
Unlike all previous collaborations between Jamaican and American artists, Distant Relatives is neither a remix nor a featured guest spot on a single track. The recording is a fully collaborative effort filling an entire album, opening new avenues of musical expression.
The album created by two serious artists to explore and celebrate the correlations and deep-rooted connections between reggae and hip-hop, tracing both sounds back to the African motherland that is both the cradle of humanity and the wellspring of mankind's music. And who better to fulfill this mission? The youngest son of the legendary Bob Marley, Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley, and all time legend of Hip-Hop - Nas Jones.
