NAS AND DAMIAN MARLEY TEAM FOR ALBUM




Nas has been in Los Angeles for the last several weeks quietly recording a new album with reggae star Damian Marley, Billboard.com reports. “We’ve been recording in a studio, where people like Mick Jagger are recording. No one knew who we were,” Nas’ manager, Anthony Saleh, tells Billboard. “We’re going to Miami this week to finish it up and we’re aiming to tour for the album this summer.” The as-yet-untitled collaboration will likely be released in the spring. But it is not yet clear what label will release the project; Nas is signed to Def Jam, while Marley records for Universal.

In addition to its regular incarnation, the album may also be released in a special edition exclusively through Best Buy or Target. A portion of the proceeds will go toward building a school in Africa.
