[Hip-Hop] Nas – Bye Baby (Prod. Salaam Remi & Noah “40” Shebib)

Posted by Ash El Gamal - July 10, 2012

Nas blessed us today with another leak from his upcoming album, Life is Good, which is set to drop July 17th. One of the first things I noticed about this track were the production credits, which feature the always legendary 40, most well known for his extensive work with Drake. Rather than the ethereal, trippy sound that 40 often creates, this cut goes more in the soulful direction. On “Bye Baby,” Nasir discusses his past relationships and drops some knowledge and valuable advice in the realm of romance. Not a particularly dark or profound song, this is perfect for sunny summer activities.

Nas – Loco-Motive feat. Large Professor (Produced by No I.D.)

Posted by Aaron Frankhouse - July 4, 2012

As soon as the beat drops you have to ask yourself if this is 1994 again? Damnit it’s not Illamtic, but the song screams 1990’s hip hop. Void of the electro vibes that’s become a main stay in today’s rap, Loco-Motive is a nostalgic track and plays intentionally so. It only make’s sense with Large Proffessor helping produce this track, the same producer who helped Nas on Illmatic. If Nas’s up coming album Life is Good stays true to this formula then expect it to be mentioned as one of best rap albums this year.

[Hip/Hop] Tyga ft. Wale & Nas – Kings & Queens

Posted by Clare Williams - February 17, 2012

Young upstart Tyga has matured as an emcee over the years and ‘Kings & Queens’, featuring two of hip-hop’s greatest, is living proof. With production team The Olympicks laying down a soulful beat, we get to hear Tyga’s impressive flow, while Wale and Nas provide incredible support. ‘Kings & Queens’ is a powerful track that will cement Tyga’s reputation. This song features on Tyga’s forthcoming record ‘Careless World: The Rise of The Last King’, out February 21.

[Hip/Hop] Kanye West ft. Nas – We Major (Bittersweet Symphony White Lotus Mash-up)

Posted by Clare Williams - July 18, 2011

When a mash-up featuring ‘Bittersweet Symphony’ comes out, it’s usually predictable and does nothing interesting with The Verve’s best-known track. Not this one. An incredible contrast between Kanye West and Nas’ harsh lyrical flows in ‘We Major’ and the lovelorn strings make this one of the most powerful mash-ups around, and leaves the listener blown away by the sheer intensity of the track.
