Nas and Damian Marley in Jamaica (Pt. 1 & 2 of 3).

posted on January 21st, 2011 by in Jamaican Artists, Video

Over on the Distant Relatives website, they just released the first two of three videos documenting Nas’ and Damian Marley’s journey of shooting the »Land of Promise« video in Jamaica. Real history right here! (via Trrbo)


Hope Road is the first film and is the story of that first night. I remember before I even had a chance to set the camera up right Nas was like “Yo, yo film this… “ and launched into the whole speech he gives here about “Smokin’ Cubans on the steps of Bob Marley…” from there on I knew I had to keep the camera up and ready to go. Please wait for the little surprise after the credits… Dawn on Hope Road


Dubplates at Tuff Gong, is Part Two. On the third night Damian and Stephen Marley went to work over a new Stephen song called ‘Jah Army.’ The song is pure heat. Dubplates are the stock and trade of the Jamaican musician. Tuff Gong itself is a place filled with so much history as Stephen explains to Nas at the beginning – even Bunny Wailer made an surprise appearance.
