Distant Reltives

Fusing hip hop and reggae musical elements, Marley and Nas also incorporated samples from African music into the album. The album's lyrical content heavily revolves around themes concerning Africa, from ancestry and poverty, with social commentary of the United States and Africa. The track "Count Your Blessings" reflects on the plight of Africa.

This album is great! I would like to share some songs with ATS. Maybe some of you guys like this type of music.

I have no sound right now but I flagged because I love NAS and Damien Marley, is Bob Marley's son? Anyways, can't wait to listen. Big respect for posting.

Yes Damian Marley is the son of Bob Marley. Damien is more a rapper when it comes to his music. Some of his other sons are great.


Ziggy Marley is awesome!

The two greatest song writers and lyricists i have ever had the pleasure of listening to, Bob Marley and John Lennon.
