This is Music Monday on steroids. This Monday we not only get new music, but we  also get to look at the 3 part amazing documentary shot by B+ (Mochilla) for the Distance relatives album. The song shown in the second part of the documentary is called Jah Army, and is featured on Stephen Marley upcoming album.

Part 1:
Part 1 shows Nas outside of Bob Marley studio/museum located on Hope Road in Kingston Jamaica.

Part 2:
Part 2 named Dubplates at Tuffgong. Shows behind the scenes of the recording of Jah Army. If you want to hear the rest of the track click here

Part 3:
Part 3 named Trenchtown Rock follows Nas and Damian as they shoot the video for Land of Promise off the Distant Relative album in Bob Marley’s old neighborhood Trenchtown, Jamaica.

Quick thoughts about the Videos:
1. I’m surprised Damian does not have his own Guinness ad, I mean how perfect would that be?
2. I love how B+ shot the documentary so far very revealing and feels very authentic.
3. Who is B+?? Well here is a brief bio
4. Looks like these guys genuinely have a good time while recording. (Side note) There is a funny story described on hiphopdx where B+ describes one of the craziest times while on on the European leg of the Distance Relative tour was spent in a Kenyan bar in Dublin in the wee hours of the morning!!
5. Land of Promise is a solid track but I wish they would do the Africa Must Wake Up video. Its one of the best joints on the album.
