The official cover for Nas and Damien Marley’s ‘Distant Relative’ album has been released. The forthcoming collaborative effort from the two artist will combine both their musical styles.
Recorded with a live band in L.A. and Miami, Nas told MTV News that the project stems from his efforts in Africa stating ‘We tryin’ to build some schools in Africa… and trying to build empowerment.’ Proceeds from the album will go to building a school in the Congo and tracks like ‘Count Your Blessings’ reflect on the continent’s ongoing unrest. The two worked on ‘Road to Zion’ for Marley’s ‘Welcome to Jamrock.’
