CD Review: Nas & Damian Marley - Distant Relatives
"Distant relatives" is a collaborative effort by Rapper Nas and Reggae singer Damian Marley (Bob Marley's son). Recorded with a live band, it's a Reggae/Hip hop hybrid which works rather well.
This album takes Hip Hop and Reggae to another level. It is refreshing and something Hip-Hop badly needed, originality!
This is a superb album, both from a production standpoint (with production by Damian and Stephen Marley) and from a lyrical standpoint. The Hip-Hop Reggae hybrid is perfect. For anyone who does not believe hip hop can have a positive message, give this album a listen.
9 out of 10 stars
