Nas and Damian Marley Goes to Africa

I have blogged before about “Distant Relatives,” the collaboration between Nas and Damian Marley where they make explicit the connections African music and rap and reggae.

Well, now two of the tracks off the forthcoming album have now leaked: “Strong Will Continue ” and “As We Enter” (is that a Fela sample?).

I like “As We Enter” better.

  1. The sample is Mulatu Astatke’s – Yegelle Tezeta. Jarmusch used it in Broken Flowers. Funky.

  2. Thanks. I knew I was wrong even before I posted it
