Nas is reuniting with Damian Marley on the 2020 Welcome to Jamrock Reggae Cruise. The duo will perform their Distant Relatives album in its entirety in celebration of its 10th anniversary.
The two began their working relationship in 2005, teaming up for the single “Road To Zion” off Marley’s Welcome To Jamrock LP. The collaboration led to Nas and the reggae artist creating an entire project together, 2010’s Distant Relatives.
Attendees will be able to see Nas and Marley’s Distant Relatives performance on both of the five-day trips booked for 2020. Marley’s annual cruise added a second voyage to this year’s plans after tickets sold out in record time.
The first half of Marley’s 2020 cruise is scheduled to run from November 30 to December 5. The second portion, which is sold out, begins on December 5 and concludes on December 10. Each trip includes stops in Montego Bay and Ocho Rios, Jamaica.
Customers who were waitlisted in the initial sell-out can reserve a spot now the cruise’s official website. Tickets will go on sale to the rest of the general public on Tuesday (February 11).
Both editions of the Welcome to Jamrock Reggae Cruise will set sail from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Other than Nas and Marley, Shabba Ranks is the only artist confirmed to perform but more performers are expected to be announced soon.
