Nas, Damien Marley Team For Album And Tour

Nas, Damien Marley, The Roots, Big Boi, Common and many others will play this summer’s Rock The Bells traveling Hip-Hop festival, which is set to visit 10 cities between June 27 and August 9. Rock The Bells has traditionally been a tour where Rap veterans showcase their talents alongside promising newcomers, and that tradition will continue as old schoolers KRS-One, House Of Pain, M.O.P. and Wu-Tang members RZA and Raekwon play with up-and-coming artists like Mickey Factz, K’Naan and Tech N9ne. Each tour stop will feature 25 artists on two stages, and it is scheduled to visit Toronto, Washington D.C., Boston, New York, Denver, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami and Vancouver. Specific dates and venues will be announced shortly.

Additionally, headliners Nas and Damien Marley will be releasing a joint album called Distant Relatives in June. As one would expect, the record mixes Reggae and Rap.
