Wait, There’s More

In an April 2020 interview, Jones delivered the ultimate teaser. In addition to revealing he’s working on records with Hit-Boy, Nas also said he had a secret project brewing.

Now during a chat with radio host and DJ Ralph McDaniels, Nasir dropped the news that he’s working on a couple of projects. The first one is with Hit-Boy. “Hit-Boy, that’s been fun working with him. He played a snippet in the battle the other day.. of something. We got some things,” Nas said, referring to the new song from the rapper that Hit debuted during his IG battle with Boi-1da. During the Universal Hip Hop Museum and Mass Appeal’s Hip Hop Loves NY benefit event, Nas also said that he’s got another project that he didn’t want to disclose at this point. (HHNM)

Before You Go

In late March 2020, producer Boi-1da let the world hear some new Nasty Nas. Boi went online with his Instagram Live with a quick snippet.
