Music site Breath Of Life comes through with another mixtape fans our our site can dig, this time featuring live music from Nas & Damian Marley. Check out the mix and details below…

These tracks are taken from two different sessions. The first five selections are from a live in-studio BBC 1xtra radio program recorded in London. The remaining selections are from a May 17, 2010 performance at the Highline Ballroom in New York City.

I am very impressed that the live performances are on point. If you get a chance to see this show, you might want to reserve tickets at the earliest possible moment. Unfortunately, these recordings are not commercially available. Fortunately, however, sharing music is the raison d’etre of BoL.

So, whether you get to see Damian and Nas, here is close to an hour of live versions of music from their new and aptly titled album, Distant Relatives.

No lie, but Distant Relatives is my father’s favorite album right now. He’s 63.

That said, I know he’d be happy to hear this right now. This is from their BBC 1Xtra Taping last week. Check out the audio below…

Here is the new Estelle video for “Fall in Love” premiered today and was shot in Brooklyn (possibly the Forte Greene area), interestingly enough the track actually has two versions. First up the Estelle featuring Nas version…

and now the John Legend version….

I’m a big fan of HWV8’s work and a big fan of the recent Distant Relatives collabo by Nas & Junior Gong, so sharing this was really a no-brainer.

Not all together on one song though, unfortunately.

I’ve been sitting on these two joints for a few days. I figured it’d make sense to give them both to you at once. Check out the music below…

Download them both here: Nas & Damain Marley Feat. Junior Reid – “Ancient People” || Estelle feat. Nas - “Fall in Love”.

Enjoy.

Yet another released Distant Relatives track, at this point I’m wondering what I haven’t heard from the LP yet. I think they have proven that its going to be good, so hopefully the next time I am listening to the a track on the album its because it May 18th. Needless to say this is another good work from collabo.

Homeboy Sandman is getting ready to drop his new album on June 1st. Here is a track that didn’t make on the album. Yes, its a dope track too, so I’m assuming he’s got more bangers on the way.

No need to worry I’m not posting another leak for the Distant Relatives LP, this time its an interview with Nas & Damian talking about the upcoming tour, and the album.

This is getting kind of ridiculous.

I feel like we’ve posted the whole album already. It’s been good music all-round though, so I don’t think anyone’s complaining, but geez. This time, they’ve brought Joss Stone and Lil’ Wayne along for the ride.

Check out the tracks below…

Again, the album drops 5/18. Pre-order it here: Distant Relatives [Explicit Lyrics] (Amazon.com).

So within one week we’ve been blessed with yet another Distant Relatives track “Africa Must Wake Up”. More good music.
