DJ Premier says that he and Nas will do an album together once Nas’ contract with Def Jam runs out. DJ Premier says that he and Nas will be working on a long-discussed album together soon. “It’s coming,” DJ Premier says during an interview posted by Phenom Blak. “I just saw him last week. It’s coming. He has another project to drop on Def Jam, then he’s a free agent. Let him get that out. It’ll give me time to get my artists ripped and ready. Then we can all tour together or something.”
DJ Premier and Nas have worked together throughout Nas’ career, including the rapper’s acclaimed debut album, 1994’s Illmatic. DJ Premier produced three of the collections 10 songs, “N.Y. State Of Mind, “Memory Lane (Sittin’ In Da Park)” and “Represent”.
The only guest rapper on Illmatic was AZ, who appeared on “Life’s A Bi****.” DJ Premier said that he didn’t know whether or not AZ would appear on his forthcoming album with Nas. — hiphopDX.
