Let me preface this by saying this is a really, really brief blog post. Almost Facebook/twitter status-update esque. That being said, I plan to make a post or two later this week, once I’m done being consumed by studying for my two finals tomorrow.

With that out of the way, I’d like to offer a recommendation for a relatively new track by Nas & Damian Marley (also known as Bob Marley’s youngest son.) Entitled “As We Enter”, it’s the first single from  the duo’s collaboration “Distant Relatives”, set to be released on May 18th (which just happens to be my birthday, wazah!) The track features elements of reggae, with the typical hip hop feel that Nas is known for. From Swahili to Hummers over to Kingston, the song’s references touch upon the shared heritage the two have, announcing their return to the kingdom. If nothing else, the track is chock full of that “we’re taking over” mentality that’s sure to get your adrenaline pumping.
