The Nas and Damian Marley collaboration Distant Relatives came together as a way to earn money for schools in Africa, but before any corny charity album misconceptions get in the way, know that this is one purposeful monster and a conceptional bull's eye that fully supports its title.Marley’s manager Dan Dalton came up with the concept after the two made “Road to Zion.” “I thought Damian and Nas should put their efforts into a collaboration centered around Africa,” Dalton said.

A great Nas guest verse and a lush but serious vibe. Gonna go back for another full listen today, see what jumps out.Back in 05 (I think), Damien dropped his breakthrough Welcome To Jamrock album, and one of the highlights of that album was an unexpected Nas collaboration "Road to Zion". I don't find Marley particularly enjoyable (his solo work isn't my style at all) but Nas is on point here (wtf happened).I'd give this a 6.5/10 or so. It's short, so it's not a big deal, but I think a couple more guest spots would've helped a lot. Nah Mean had some really slick back and forth, and songs like Friends n Count Your Blessings we're kinda nice.The main problem I have with this album is it starts to get kinda boring. KNAAN (remember him?) killed it on Tribes at War.
Especially with Damien and Stephen Marley handling all of the production. And Damien and Nas really show some great back and forth chemistry on "As We Enter" and "Nah Mean".But mixing Reggae, Hip Hop, Ragga, and Dancehall together for a full album is a tall task. Nas was still in his Untitled musical vibe, and it makes for some cool conscious subject matter at times. Bought it first week and played it a lot the first six months or so, and I haven't listened to it much since. But they did.I really liked this when it first dropped, but not nearly as much now.
They might not have had the most chemistry at times, and Nas sometimes sounds like a guest, but there's some good tracks and positive vibes here. The album was a noble experiment and message. And "Patience" and "Africa Must Wake Up" might be the duo's most on point with the albums vibe and message. Nas really does feel like a guest at times here.It picks up again with the albums most energetic track "Nah Mean". From "Leaders" to "In His Own Words", it becomes very much Damien's album more so than Nas', with him dominating the mic time and the backdrops with light acoustic guitars. The album begins pretty sharp with its first three tracks, especially with Nas dropping the shtick at the end "Strong Will Continue" to get ferocious for minute.The middle portion of this album kinda drags though.
