Despite past hints and mounted speculation, Preemo revealed Nas’ final Def Jam requirement is the biggest hurdle standing in the way of a joint effort’s release.

“It’s coming,” Premier promised in an interview. “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.” (WM40A)

Back in 2011, Premier said he expected them to eventually work together on their own joint project.

“[With] Nas, it’s always fun to work with him because we have a formula and vibe that already works. It’s not difficult. It’s like seeing a long lost cousin like, ‘D*mn, I ain’t seen you in years. Let’s get back to what we used to do.’ I submitted some tracks, so hopefully those will work, but if not, he and I are still going to do the Nas/Premier album,” he said. “But he has other albums that come before, but we’re still going to do it, we’ve spoken about it.” (Hard Knock TV)

In 2006, Premier hinted at plans to work with the New York rap heavyweight.

“Nas approached me about doing a whole album for him over a year ago, and I said, ‘I’m down, just holla at me when you’re ready,'” said DJ Premier in the interview over four years ago, “This is the first time I’ve seen him since…I really hope we can get it crackin’.” (Scratch)

Over the summer, Nas said life was inspiring his next solo album’s content.

“Life. I feel like Alexander Graham Bell, knowing that he’s about to do something that’s never been done. I’m bursting with excitement, but focused more than I’ve been in the past. I’m at a place where there’s so many things that ain’t been said. Things I’ve seen that I never talked about that I wanna share. I’m so excited to tell this story because it’s real sh*t. It’s needed. I hate to sound like that–to say it’s needed for hip-hop–but f*ck it. It is.” (VIBE)

          • Just my opinion this guys music sucks no substance all flash if you can relate to it good for you

          • but an opinion based on an incomplete set of facts is stupid.

            When I first saw the video for All Gold Everything I was like wtf is this hipster wocka flocka shit. But then I heard the album and dude was talking some shit and the beats knocked.

            “Now my side bitch, my main bitch, cause my main ho, ain’t feeling me no mo, no mo

            Fuck love it’s overrated
            Was fellowshiped, Now I’m reinstated
            Might need a witness, these bitches crazy
            Let me say it again, (these bitches crazy)
            Fucked her once, now I’m swayze
            Fucked her twice, (now I’m swayze)
            Put my partner on
            He got her pregnant
            Man fuck life, life ignorant”
            Trinidad James – Females Welcomed
            That’s some sarcastic real life shit. And that perfectly sums up his style.

    • It’s people like you that don’t really listen and want to throw judgements left and right. Trinidad James speaks real life stuff. Things any man living a real life can relate to. He’s not the same as these other fake get money rappers.
      This isn’t as good as his first release but still has some joints. 10 pc mild is an adequate name. He needs to come with that 10 pc spicy.
