Recently, God’s Son promised to deliver a long-awaited new album before 2018 arrives.

“It’s not done till it hits the streets. [Arriving before the year ends?] For sure. [Any titles?] Not yet, not till release. [Any singles coming?] We might do a single but we might do something different.” (Billboard)

A few weeks ago, a screenshot surfaced of Nas in a recording studio with producer Statik Selektah.

  1. No man not even my father can speak for me nor should they speak for a grown ass man with a voice. But i guesstimate where morals are different generation to generation. I’m a hard working grown woman who can’t stand when talent can’t get they own foundation on track in mass media, with out fucking it off with Pac or Biggie. Dick riding the dead doesn’t grant anyone a pass to fame might as well sell ya soul and let men who like boys do it so tmf like Troy Ave can get big with out using the dead. Hater no your music n music talents are imitated. But real recognize real.
