I remember when Damian & Nas released their album Distant Relatives a few years back. I don't listen to the album as frequently as I'd like to but I've always said it was by far one of my favourite albums. The music was so energetic and alive. They really brought an incredible element to the game. I'd love to see them release part 2. I travelled over 300 miles a few years back to see Nas & Damian perform at London's Wembley Arena. Erykah Badu was the opening act. They put on possibly the greatest show I've ever seen. Damian's dreads were a few inches off the floor. They also had a friend on stage who waved a *BIG* Jamaican flag around for the entire set. None of us could understand how he didn't collapse from exhaustion haha. Everyone in the stands was smoking weed and at one point they asked to have the lights cut out. Once the lights were out Damian told everyone, "Put your lighters in the air!". The entire arena lit up. I've never seen anything like it. Thanks for the memories Damian & Nas.

Khalid Mxsic I can't believe they put Wayne on that album out of all the MCS they put Lil Wayne

[@samuel7385]

This is gonna sound like I'm trolling but I promise I'm not lol a while back Damian tweeted me back answering my question that there will be a Distant Relatives 2 and there's been a lot of Rumours that Damian Marley will be performing with Nas on his new tour with Lauryn

[@markwatson2882]

Khalid Mxsic its not Jamaican flag..its a Rastafarian flag..big difference.

[@shth8747]

my husband still rock that album!

[@Godspeedysick]

Samuel Birku Highly unlikely since Chronixx is already signed on to be the opening act.

[@real_o_gee]

Real G big up urself mr Damian Marley 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲 up move

[@BerylBerry]

Much love and Respect to Damian Marley 💛 💚 💛

[@topdog4587]

Reggae music is the best in the world the only music that influence the whole globe

[@TakeAsNeeded4Pain]

It is really amazing when you consider the impact of this comparatively small island nation's culture on the entire globe. They did it before the internet was available too.

[@ZoeyNeighland]

Both comments very true!

[@robinvolpi]

Ebro does incredible interviews. Knows the background... respects The Culture. Salute, Brother....

[@robinvolpi]

..and your Flag Guy story had me smiling, as I've been telling people about this guy since I had the privilege of catching Damian in Chicago.... at a beautiful outdoor venue w/the city skyline as the backdrop & the huge lakefront glistening at rt angle. Was an evening show. Damian was killing it and so was 'Donovan,' waving that flag for his Life... aaand mine. ;) Was a spectacular sight

[@Pixiel3089]

Kranium, Wizkid and Ty Dolla Sign released a song together, "Can't Believe". African, Caribbean and African-American connection right there!

[@greatnesspersonified4273]

I got to keep on walking...on the road to zion man.

[@gma904]

Greatness Personified My favorite album!

[@krystelangel]

Enjoyed his interview here much more than the others I have seen ..great job to Ebro and the team!

[@Isiejeme0829]

I like it that Ebro has taken note of Burna boy (an underrated Nigeria music star) with a string of hits in Africa.

[@georgewitt9077]

Salute the Marley clan. Always good vibrations

[@seleqta1]

NOTE: During the wars between the British and Asanti in Ghana, the British had Jamaican troops. Somewhere along the line the Jamaicans showed us how to play the guitar this laid the foundation for highlife music which is the grand father for Afro pop. Greetings from the mother land Ghana.

[@Godspeedysick]

Henry Obimpeh Where's the source for this? I'd love to read some more of what you said. That's crazy!

nah mean i reload my next magazine nah mean

[@Ranymo]

The Gong

[@TheHomeman]

Do they wholesale or can they do that there ? I'm glad he did that, i'm hoping more black people in California get into that. I want it to be legal in Jamaica, i think they can make some real quality medical weed there, i really don't like the idea of this artificially strong weed, i guess we can call it GMO weed. We need to get away from that, i think that more black people in Jamaica need to buy land so that when the time comes for this to happen they can run the land and get the benefits from their land.

[@akintolaabdulquadri4796]

Here because of #wizkid

*future plans*Find sister Nancy, and break her off a few stacks on the strength

[@Alive79311]

Almost every top artist in Hip Hop was Jamaican

[@Heathcliff_hensel]

The legalization trend will not be reversed. There is too much tax money flowing in and Jef Sessions isn't long for the job.

[@brandonblackfyre5783]

Rosenberg even wit hot 97 anymore

[@ZoeyNeighland]

Ebro, don't ask businesses that are trying to make a brand for themselves for free stuff. His family's brand unfortunately isn't like Nike or McDonalds.

[@peytonfan]

Obviously a better interview than Sway....sorry Sway.

[@johnwilliams983]

Peytonfan no need to say sorry

[@Godspeedysick]

Peytonfan Here's something profound (I think). Damian isn't the best at interviews but I just watched a Chronixx interview on both this and Sway and no matter who does the interview Chronixx deliver. He's on a completely different level that Damian. And I'm a fan of both.

[@keithalexander1156]

Al T you're saying chronixx is on a way higher level than Damian?

[@user-ds5fr6ob3i]

Peytonfan apples and oranges

[@AKelly47s]

Wait a second isnt marijuna is legal in jamaica. its decriminalized

[@Godspeedysick]

AKelly47s decriminalization is different from legalization. Decriminalizing it means if you get caught there's a fine but no jail time (based on how much you're caught with). Intent to distribute will get you into bigger trouble. Legalizing means it's completely legal for sale and usage without consequence.

[@444iii4]

dame marley got an 8 year old son, hooollyyy shitt

[@Godspeedysick]

YS ii Yes and he's still with the same woman. Well...unlike his dad lol

[@catherinemutua6187]

I wonder how he gets to kiss his wife in the mouth with that moustache
