NAS - "THE DON"

Here's Nas with another drop, continuing to raise expectations for upcoming tenth album, "Life is Good". Esco comes back still in the old-skool steez he's been sporting of late, but this time on a ragga tip (shouts to SL2), assumedly a result of working with Damian Marley on the "Distant Relatives" project. The track was produced by frequent collaborator Salaam Remi, Da Internz and, apparently the late Heavy D.

Rap-reggae tracks are notoriously bad ideas (remember when KRS went rap-reggae? with Shabba Ranks?), but this is pretty cool though - Nas sounds hungry. Gets especially interesting when the beat switches up a bit. More of that please.

"Life is Good" is due out later this year.
