But despite all past success or failure, in May of 2010, Nas and Damian released Distant Relatives. The album ranks #3 on HHGA’s top 40 Hip Hop albums of 2010 list and #21 on the top 150 Hip Hop albums of the 2010s list. In fact, in the past three years, the only work I’ve heard from Marley has been his guest performances on a K’naan album and his brother, Stephen Marley’s album, both of whom now provide performances on Nas and Damians work. Upon its release, Distant Relatives received positive reviews from most music critics. The album debuted at number five on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 57,000 copies in its first week. It features appearances from K’naan, Stephen Marley, Dennis Brown, Junior Reid, Joss Stone, and Lil Wayne. Fusing musical elements of Hip Hop and reggae, it features lyrical themes concerning ancestry, poverty, and the plight of Africa. The album is Nas’ tenth (third for Def Jam) and Marley’s fourth studio album, respectively.ĭistant Relatives was recorded between 20, being produced primarily by Damien and Stephen Marley, both sons of the most-known Jamaican musician Bob Marley. It was released on May 18, 2010, by Universal Republic and Def Jam Recordings. This gives a very strong sense of calmness.

The song and music video sync well together because of the slow, low tempo instrumental, conplements the slow zoom shots in this. This includes the mainstream media trying to manipulate society, how man has destroyed and ruined everything it has touched, and they question whether science can be proven right.
This music video is very deep and there are many different meanings and connections behind the narrative. The 3d layers build up a well told story of africa, life and existance and the connection between the earth and humans.
Gong” Marley assume the throne in the video Directed by NABIL, the intense visuals see the poetic artist traveling to ancient lands, with Damian Marley shrouded by a hooded cloak and Nas rocking a crown on the dome.
