Scope Presents Nas & Damian Marley

Scope Productions is proud to present hip-hop legend Nas & Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley at the IMU Main Lounge on September 8! Nas and Marley came together in early 2009 to create an album that would show the truth about social and political strife in Africa and America. Thus Distant Relatives was produced, a strikingly powerful record that illustrates the current state of the world. The record, released in May 2010, sold 57,000 copies and debuted at number 5 on the Billboard Top 100. Mixing Hip Hop and Reggae along with Marley’s signature “toasting,” a Jamaican style of rapping, the duo fill listeners with knowledge of how the world is changing. While songs like “As We Enter”, “Strong Will Continue” and “CountYour Blessings ” highlight the collaboration between Nas and Marley, the show also features each artist's solo work.
