Musical alchemy from an All-Star dream-team trio: Nas, Damian Marley, and Mariam Doumbia
The merging of three such disparate styles is incredible. I love the contrast between Mariam's utterly pure voice and Marley's hoarseness. His phrasing is absolutely perfect, he stretches and squeezes the lengths of words in the most gorgeous way.
Nas' verse is disappointing, although though that might be because I think that someone else already has a monopoly on inane questions in rap (check out these hilarious atrocities). And it's kinda reassuring to know that even legends have off days.
