Working With Kanye West

Recently, Nas dished on his previous solo album. Specifically, the Queens native discussed the chemistry he shared with the NASIR executive producer Kanye West.

“We spent time and I was working on ideas. He would give me a few loops and I would write to them but they weren’t finished. He was working on a lot. He had [Kid Cudi], he had Teyana Taylor, he had his album and I was the only one coming in starting fresh. So, I had less time with him. We really did that album the week it was supposed to come out.” (“The Breakfast Club”)
