Distant Relatives ?

Postby King Lance » Dec 22nd, '13, 22:55

I expected this album to make much more noise than that tbh.

I am not a huge reggae fan, but Damien takes reggae and dancehall and mixes them perfectly. Add in some fitting verses from Nas and some great pop writing here and there and "Distant Relatives" is one of the best "world" albums I have heard

All the songs on that album touch a ton of subjects :wub:

I saw them live in Chicago.

Good show. Reeked of weed.

Nice... :y:
I do like the album but I wish Nas collaborated with a Hip-Hop artist for such project.

Man, this was a great CD. My friends and I used to do a lot of doob-cruising to it, bringing back lots of memories. I hope they make another together.

Didn't really listen to it too much.

It's a very good album to listen to while in the mood. I wish some artist do that, like Em and Slug or something like that but that wouldn't happen…
