VIDEO + AUDIO: Damian Marley & Nas (Distant Relatives) - Live @ Highline Ballroom, NYC 5-17-10 | All The Way Live

Ever since Nas & Damian Marley first collaborated on Welcome To Jamrock with the incredible “Road To Zion”, I had wished they would do an album together.  Now that day has arrived as Distant Relatives was released to the world earlier this month.  It’s absolutely my early candidate for album of the year, and their album release show at Highline Ballroom brought the music to life.  Damian’s band was on point, translating the tribal songs on the album perfectly to the live setting.  Here is our exclusive recordings of the night for a ton of songs from the evening and definitely catch the Distant Relatives tour this summer if it stops through your city.
