NAS Uses Album Profits To Build African School

NAS and his celeb best mate Damian ‘Junior Gong’ Marley have decided to donate all the profits from their forthcoming album to help build a school in the Congo.

The stars are teaming up for an as-yet-untitled collaborative album, which is due for release in June, but Nas recently revealed the disc will pay tribute to their cultural roots, and now Bob Marley's son has confirmed the pair's fundraising plans.

The Welcome to Jam Rock hitmaker insists fans of both artists will enjoy the fruits of their labour. Marley tells Rolling Stone magazine, "We're trying to have a sound that's reminiscent of both of us, but not exactly like either.

"A lot of charity albums come off corny. We want this to be something you'd play in your car." We’re sure we’ll be cranking up the volume NAS!
