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.

7 Walkers Tour: Papa Mali, Bill Kreutzmann, George Porter Jr.

NEW PROJECT FEATURING FRESH ROBERT HUNTER LYRICS
HITS THE ROAD
 Bill Kreutzmann by Chad Smith |
Legendary drummer and co-founder of the Grateful Dead, Bill Kreutzmann, together with funky bluesman and voodoo electronic pioneer Papa Mali, officially unveil 7 Walkers‘ spring plans. 7 Walkers, which also features bass virtuoso Reed Mathis (Tea Leaf Green, JFJO) and multi-instrumentalist Matt Hubbard (Willie Nelson and Friends), will stop at select markets and festivals through out the country, all in anticipation of a new album release. The complete list of currently confirmed tour dates is included below.
7 Walkers recently spent time at an Austin, Texas studio, recording an album to be released later this year. In addition to a brand-new batch of Robert Hunter (Grateful Dead and Bob Dylan lyricist) originals that were co-written with the band, the new album offers up favorites from the Grateful Dead repertoire, Papa Mali originals, and some New Orleans and Southern songbook interpretations. Overall, the result is a fiery and funky collection of tunes that quite brilliantly capture the unique collaboration between these two very different musical shamans.
Bill Kreutzmann (who played every show in the Grateful Dead’s illustrious 30 year career as well as The Dead incarnations since) first met funky Papa Mali at a festival in 2008. Bill recalls in a recent interview, “We first met at the Oregon Country Fair last year. He was the headliner on the main stage, and I sat there and watched him and went, ‘This guy’s for real man, I like this guy.’ Then we met, after that he came over to my trailer that I was staying in and you couldn’t separate us, we talked for hours. It was just one of those natural things, you know? You can’t plan it; You can’t make it happen. And then we started playing together.”
Live audio recordings of the 7 Walkers can be heard at the newly re-launched www.billkreutzmann.com.
Meanwhile, at nugs.net, fans can now download live BK3 recordings from their 2009 Colorado shows. Another potent Kreutzmann musical project, BK3 first toured in 2008 and featured a rotating lineup including such players as guitarist Scott Murawski (Max Creek) and bassists James “Hutch” Hutchinson (Bonnie Raitt), Oteil Burbridge (Allman Brothers) and Mike Gordon (Phish).
Kreutzmann is also working to support the efforts of University of California at Santa Cruz, who has committed to helping to archive all things Grateful Dead. As Kreutzmann explains, “I am incredibly happy that the kind archivists at UC Santa Cruz understand the social value of [the Grateful Dead's] priceless archive, and its hallowed meaning to our most beloved ‘Dead Heads.’ Without the care it is now going to receive, these treasures would be lost.”
