We previously posted that Lil Wayne would be featured on Damian Marley‘s and Nas‘ collaboration album, Distant Relatives, on a record called “My Generation” along with Joss Stone. Damian recently spoke with HipHopDX about Wayne‘s feature on their album, and confirmed that he was definately on there. You can read what Damian said about Tune‘s verse below:

Damian was asked his thoughts on Lil Wayne bringing a younger generation into his and Nas’ global-minded album.”It’s funny, because the track is called ‘My Generation,'” Damian answered with a chuckle. “It’s definitely geared towards that. [Lil] Wayne really showed a lot of respect in his verse, in the way that he handled it. He handled it exactly how I would’ve really loved him to. I don’t have any criticism at all about what he did. I think it’s a great and blessed track. That’s all I can really say about that.” Wayne’s verse reportedly touches on the one-ness in different cultures, eras and music.

Anyone excited ❓

IllRoots just released part two of some rare and unreleased footage from Lil Wayne and T.I. in the studio together. We haven’t heard this track before, but I hope we hear it soon because Wayne‘s verse sounds fire:

So fuck them and fuck you too (U2)
Now go tell that to Bono (member of U2)

You can watch part one here, and in other news, Lil Wayne will be featured on Nas‘ and Damian Marley‘s collaboration album dropping in either May or June this year. The album is called Distant Relatives and the track Weezy makes a feature on is called “My Generation“. So here is something else we can be looking forward to hearing, and the record also features Joss Stone.
