Distant Relatives

Now this album has been pushed back and delayed since last summer but its now rumored to be released sometime in March/April (March 16th has been reported as well as April 10th) and we finally have some full tracks to hold us over. You can find the album version of the track "As we enter" on the Distant Relatives Myspace, as well as "Only the Strong" in the video at the bottom.

With this much anticipation built up, I now expect this to be a life changing, generation unifying, peace bringing hip hop/reggae album but even if it isn't they are donating all the proceeds to build schools in Africa.



Rumored track listing has Somalian rapper K'naan and the soul diva Joss Stone joining the ranks of legends Stevie Wonder and the late Bob Marley. Looks to be quite the legendary album if it plays as good as it looks. Also, props to the Marley family for keeping this on  lock down as none of the tracks have been leaked. Unlike most of Nas' and pretty much anyone else albums.
