'As We Enter' is the debut single off Nas & Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley's collaboration album 'Distant Relatives.' Fusing reggae with hip-hip, the new single features jumpy electronic back beats over heavy drums and spliced trumpets, as the duo trade off delivering lines in between the chorus line ("Hey, Hey, Hey"): "[Damian Marley] Masuri Sana / Switch up the language and move to Ghana / [Nas] Salute and honor, real revolution rhymers / [Damian Marley] Rhythm piranhas / [Nas] Like true Obamas, unfold the drama."
'Distant Relatives,' projected to release May 25, is a project Nas and Damian hope will build humanitarian awareness across the globe by sharing the connection between reggae music, hip-hop and Africa. The project transpired after their successful collaboration on the 2005 track 'Road to Zion' off Damian's album 'Welcome to Jamrock.' Listen to their debut single, 'As We Enter,' on AOL Radio's New Hip-Hop First station.
