Nas & DJ Premier’s long awaited collab album is finally happening this year. On Friday (April 19), the 30th anniversary of Nas’ album Illmatic, the Queensbridge rapper joined forces with Premo for a new single, “Define My Name.”
The pair also shared a press release revealing that their joint album will arrive this year.
Nas & Premo are longtime collarators, even working together on the former’s debut album, Illmatic.
Nas first brought up the idea of the joint album during a Scratch interview in 2006. “We talked about doing an album together and some of the listeners want to rush the shit,” Nas said at the time. “I wanna rush it, too — but I just want to pull pieces from all kinds of different people for this next puzzle because a lot of people think shit got easy, that I quit.”
