The project was a huge success as it picked the number one position of US Billboard reggae album in the year 2010.
The album was actually centered on themes that revolves around : ancestry, poverty, and the plight of Africa.Īm talking of the album Distant Relatives which took two good years to produced and was a collaboration between Damian Marley, Stephen Marley and Nas.
I really love when songs calls for a deep reflection on the situation of a man's life and how we generally get to live our lives. The most captivating of all is the lyrics of the song and how each was well arrange, I visualize this song as the lyrical part 2 of redemption song by the legendary Bob Marley. Even to satanic concept too of the eyes of orus and the pyramid. Coupled with the videos which encompasses various slides of ancient mythology and graphics that dates back to the ancient time. I listened to this song way back in 2010 on MTV Base and was hooked then as to what the song is really trying to say, though I must confess that the melody and the instrumental hooked me into a kind of mood that makes the listeners keep still and focused.
