One’s a New York rap legend. One’s the son of the most popular reggae artist of all time. Against all odds, they’ve become best friends forever! Yes, Nas and Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley don’t seem to have a lot in common, but, hey, you probably have friends who are nothing like you, too. Of course, we already knew Nas and Marley were buds, due to their forthcoming collaborative record Distant Relatives (out May 18), but we didn’t know they liked each other to spend the whole summer together. Turns out that’s exactly what they’re going to do, as the two are bringing their Distant Relatives jam to stage on a tour bearing the same name. Get ready for a summer of bromance.
