Two of 2010’s more anticipated Rap albums have both announced delays, according to Amazon.com’s release dates.
Nas & Damian Marley‘s Distant Relatives project was initially due on April 20. However, now fans are likely to wait until May 25 to hear the full-length union between Bob Marley’s youngest son and the iconic Queensbridge emcee. At last report, Marley told DX that the album would feature two tracks with A&M Records’ K’Naan, with the album’s entire production handled by Damian and Stephen Marley.
Check songs from the album: “As We Enter” 
and “Strong Will Continue” .
In December, Nas spoke to DX about the album’s affect on his rich musical legacy. “I can’t say how it’s gonna affect my musical legacy. I just think that with everything I do, I want it to mean something. Like [Tony Montana] said, ‘I tell the truth, even when I lie.’ What he was sayin’ is, he never lies. He’s honest, even when he makes mistakes or misjudgements, he did it in truth. Everything I’m doing is because I feel right about it. The benefit of it [is] we contributed something to the world. Something like this…I don’t know who’s gonna like it, who’s gonna hate it or whatever, but it’s another contribution to the world. One more thing to just listen to,” said the emcee who’s penned hits such as “If I Ruled The World” and “I Can.”
From the same borough, onetime Nas collaborators Capone-N-Noreaga are hard at work on their sequel to the group’s 1997 certified-gold debut, The War Report. The project, executive produced by Raekwon, will be released through his H20 Water imprint, which includes EMI distribution. The album was long promised for April release, but now is moved to June.
Stay tuned to HipHopDX this week for our conversation with N.O.R.E. and Capone about The War Report II, and its personnel and concepts.
Hip Hop lives what more can you say!!!!!!
Nas a dirtbag bum
Switch “Nas” with “I am” and I’ll agree with you.
How is he a dirtbag?? you idiot!
ignore
typical nas,, pushing back his shit. i wouldnt be suprised if he pushes it back again and it doesnt come out till june. whatever though, as long as it is as good as they can get it
It’s something to look forward to in music . When it drop’s “it drop’s.. Can’t wait to hear what this project is gonna sound like foreal nas been gone for a minute now and is arguably the best to have ever done this shit period!!!
Well you know what they say..what aint worth waiting for, don’t have much worth… or something along those lines if you can get what i’m saying
has anyone else noticed that albums that may be worth a damn for hip hop are the ones getting constantly pushed back, meanwhile all the cRAP nowadays is released instantly?
so much for the 4/20 plan to smoke out to Distant Relatives… guess lupe and b.o.b concert will have to suffice
The IRS slapped a lien on Nas back in October to the tune of $2,584,206.31. This might have something to do with the album being pushed back.
He should just release the album now so he can pay off his debts. I’m willing to help him.
