God's Stepson is an album by hip hop producer 9th Wonder (one third of the group Little Brother). It was an unofficial remix of Nas's God's Son album of 2002.

Released through internet outlets in 2003, it was the first in the trend of homemade remix projects, which reached fever pitch with Jay-Z's The Black Album remixes (of which 9th also submitted an entry). It was well received by critics and fans alike for its re-interpretation of what many considered to be a return-to-form album from Nas. In particular, the album is responsible for the popularity of remixing whole albums back-to-front, and also for establishing 9th Wonder amongst the premier league of hip hop producers.

African Herbsman

Probably one of my favorite Marley tracks off of his African Herbsman Lp. The album overall definitely has a rootsier, rocksteady feel. This Lp gets more plays than any other Marley record in the collection.

A short description from Wikipedia: "African Herbsman is a compilation of The Wailers songs, released by Trojan Records in 1973, shortly after their major-label debut album Catch a Fire had been released by Island Records. This album is a collection of some of the songs that The Wailers recorded in Jamaica together with producer Lee Perry from 1970 to 1971, before they received international recognition. Included are also two of the group's self-productions, "Trenchtown Rock" and "Lively Up Yourself", that both had been big hits in Jamaica. Several of the songs included here would later be re-recorded by Marley for his later albums. Examples are "Lively Up Yourself" (on Natty Dread) and "Sun Is Shining" (on Kaya)."
