Damian Marley/Nas

Perhaps an unlikely collaboration, but one widely hailed by both critics and fans of each artist alike. Hip hop superstar Nas and reggae don Damian 'Jr Gong' Marley (youngest son of Bob) teamed up in the studio recently for their 'Distant Relatives' album, which was both musically and conceptually inspired by their African ancestry and features guest spots from Lil Wayne and K'Naan. Expect an electrifying blend of their trademark musicianship and rhymesaying and no dodging around issues political.
