Timbaland Previews New Nas Track He Produced

Post by Timbaland.

Listen to a snippet from a new Nas song produced by Timbaland.

Nas made one of his most critically acclaimed albums yet with the release of Life Is Good, but the New York rapper has been pretty reclusive since then. Of course, the rumor that he'll eventually do an album exclusively with DJ Premier has been thrown around, but Nas himself has stated that his next album will not be the Primo record.

The first taste of what Esco may have in store for us has now made its way online, with Timbaland sharing a snippet of a new song he produced for the rapper. We'll keep you update with any further updates on the album.

NEWS: Pusha T, Young Thug, YG Among 30 Rappers Recruited For "Rap Monument" Track

30 rappers will appear on an upcoming track which will showcase the talent of Atlanta, Los Angeles, and New York.

Crew tracks are commonplace in rap today, but unless we're going back to The Game's legendary "One Blood" remix, they rarely feature more than 5 or 6 rappers. A new project put together by Noisey and Hennessy plans to raise the bar for posse cuts, featuring 30 different rappers recorded in 3 different cities (Game's track had 23 rappers by the way. We had to count).

With studio sessions in rap hotspots New York, Atlanta, and Los Angeles, producer Nick Hook recorded verses from the likes of YG, Problem, Action Bronson, Scotty ATL, Nipsey Hussle, Raekwon, Killer Mike, Pusha T, Rockie Fresh, and many more for the ambitious project.

As you can see from the list of names, not everyone fits into the three regions, but everyone came out to the studios in those locations. 

The sessions in each city were documented, and can be viewed below. No word on when the song will be coming out, but it seems as though it could be any day now.
