Patience (Sabali) Video, Nas & Damian Marley

Nas and Damian Marley are currently touring Africa, and i am sure that is where they shot the video for this new single off their collabo album (Distant Relatives). The new single is titled Patience, but Sabali in some African language. The track features a pair of blind singers from Mali in Africa- Amadou & Mariam. I was so happy when i found out that they had shot a video to this song, because it is one of my best tracks off the album, and it shows another side of Damian Marley that people do not know.

Damian was so politically poetic, and he was actually rapping (kind of), and he took the first two verses. I must say that he even dropped more germs than nas did. Nas came with the last verse, and his delivery was so on point....i think this song is incredible, and the fact that a lot of people are now going to witness the genius the collaboration of this two conscious artist brings about is just wonderful.

Go ahead and and click on that link to watch the video. Patience.

what are you listening to right now?

So, guys, what's up today? I would like to know what albums you are currently bumping daily in your cd decks. There a lot of albums out right now; nas and damian marley's  distant relatives; eminem's recovery album(although not formerly released); drakes thank me later album; plies goon-affiliated album; b.o.b's adventures of bobby ray.

Okay, let me go first; there are so many great albums out, and some times i get confused on what to listen to. I have all the albums, and i have listened to some songs off eminems album, but i have not sat down to actually listen to it from beginning to the end. But, the album I am bumping to constantly right now, is distant relatives. It doesn't really have to do with the fact that i am a nas fan, it is just that the album is great. Imagine someone preaching knowledge to you and does not bore you in the procedure, rather, he keeps you longing for more; that is what nas and damian marley pulled off with this one.

I think when i have had a fill of the album to my satisfaction, then i would move on to feel either drake or eminem's album next

NAS AND DAMIAN MARLEY, "STRONG WILL CONTINUE".

I just got off listening to the lead single off QUEEN'S rapper and THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE, NAS and DAMIAN MARLEY'S collabo album, DISTANT RELATIVES; one word, CLASSIC.

I think this is what people need right now; JAY-Z started the return to quality rap songs with his rampage last year, and i think nas would take it to another level with this song, and the album when it drops.

I can not leave out damain marley in the creativity of this song. The song has a good message, nice melody, and nas blessed it with one of the best verses i have heard from him in a while. It is like this dude just keep getting better. After 18 years in the game, you would think he would have lost it, but this dude keep surprising me every time i hear him flow.

I think if this song is pushed the right way, and given a very good video, then it would really go places; because it is very different, and i think that is what people need right now, a breath of fresh air. The blend of reggae and rap is just fantastic.

Nobody thought they would have a chemistry together, but after hearing them on ROAD TO ZION, a track off damian's 2005 album, WELCOME TO JAMROCK, people started asking for more of that type of collabo. I guess that is what prompted them to record a whole album together, which metamorphosed into "distant relatives".

I heard that the album has been pushed till april 20, i just can't wait till it drops. And i can't also wait for nas's 10th studio to drop.

NAS AND DAMIAN MARLEY, 'DISTANCE RELATIVES'.

When the two artist collaborated on 'road to zion', the lead single of damian's 2005 album, 'welcome to jamrock', the streets was loving the rap and reggae fusion. It was just so appealing to the ear. Plus the two artist have always been known to deliver some of the best conscious music in their individual musical genre.
They are currently working on a collaborative album, 'distant relatives'. Nas recently spoke on the album;

'I just think it was me & damian finding our way. When you have two different artists working on a record, when they're used to doing their own way, it's not easy as people may think. We just flowed, and the next thing we looked up and there were so many songs done or so many songs started and worked. . . we just decided to keep it going. It's not reggae, it's not rap. It's diffirent for each of us.'

Damian also shed some light on the album in a recent interview;
'Once we started working on the music, it was nas who said to me, !"Yo we should just make this a full album".
