Nas & Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley: New Album Drops 5/18

NAS & DAMIAN “JR. GONG” MARLEY: NEW STUDIO ALBUM “DISTANT RELATIVES” SET TO DROP MAY 18

Nas

Nas and Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley are proud
to announce the release of their highly-anticipated collaborative studio album, Distant Relatives
(Universal Republic)
on Tuesday, May 18, 2010. Featuring the signature instrumentation and musicianship of Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley with the hard-hitting beats and lyrics of Nas, the album title refers not only to the bond between the artists, but the
connection to their African ancestry, which inspired the album both musically and lyrically.

Throughout the course of their musical careers, the duo has always admired each other’s style. Since first meeting
in 1996 the two artists have shared a mutual respect and camaraderie that was most recently showcased on the
track “Road to Zion,” from Damian’s critically acclaimed album, Welcome to Jamrock. After having such a positive
experience working together, they have now joined forces again for Distant Relatives. In their latest collaboration,
Nas and Damian trace hip-hop’s roots to Africa, where the genre originated as a vital form of cultural expression
and was then transported by the slave trade to the Caribbean and the American colonies. It blossomed a half
century ago in the dance halls of Kingston, Jamaica, and soon migrated to the park jams and recreational centers of
New York City, where the culture became known as hip-hop. This evolution forms the basis of the Distant Relatives
project which, in addition to the album, also includes a documentary film, performances and a series of public
discussions, the first of which took place in conjunction with National Geographic Live in Washington, DC last
December.

“Damian and Nas have made a groundbreaking album that combines the depth and vision of these two artists with a
seminal musical and cultural thread of multiple generations,” stated Monte Lipman, President and CEO of Universal
Republic Records. “We’re thrilled to play a role on what’s certain to be another pivotal album for both artists and one
of the more unique collaborative efforts in recent years.”

Nas and Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley plan to hit the road following the release of their album, including stops at
Bonnaroo and the Heineken Opener Festival in Poland.
