Looking for a more hip hop music / African music fusion feeling? You'll want to check into the latest album coming up in the near future! As it appears, the collaboration is in effect to continue forward. As you may or may not have already seen on the internet, or through other news, the project "Distant Relatives" continues forward, with an extensive track listing set up so far.

So far, there is no official date, but it appears that Damian Marley, Nas, and others are pushing forward with this project. It'll prove to be a very interesting collaboration, as it is set to have an African feel, and to have quite a few cameos from known greats in music. Among some of them are Stevie Wonder, 9th Wonder, K'naan, Erykah Badu, and more! It's been mentioned that both Nas and Damian have been performing some of the songs on the Rock the Bells Tour, and seems to be receiving good reviews.
