Nas & Damian Marley
As We Enter

Island

WE SAY

Distant Relatives is the forthcoming collaboration album by Nas and Damian Marley. As We Enter is one of the most invigorating hip hop tracks we've heard in quite a while. The slick fusion of reggae and hip hop comes off successfully on this album and on this lead single in particular. The line-trading between the duo on this is exquisite, as are the backing beats. It has already been Zane Lowe's Hottest Record in the World as well as other Radio 1 plays from Trevor Nelson and Mistajam. It's currently A-listed on BBC 1Xtra. JF
