As early as 2006, DJ Premier mentioned the possibility of recording a full-length album with Nas – a project that is yet to come to light. Now, Premo has confirmed that the project is still in the works, telling Hardknock TV that he’s submitted some cuts for his upcoming album but that if it doesn’t work out, the collaborative LP will happen.
“I submitted some tracks, so hopefully those will work, but if not, we’re still going to do the Nas/Premier album,” he said. “He has other albums that come before, but we’re still going to do it, we’ve spoken about it.”
Premier, who has worked with Nas through the entirety of his career, said that he always enjoys collaborating with the Queens, New York rapper given their extensive history and comfortable vibe.
“Nas, it’s always fun to work with him because we’ve got a formula and a vibe that already works, so it’s not difficult. It’s like seeing a long lost cousin.”

has the potential to be a masterpeice. take your time and make it happen
GOAT producer and GOAT rapper. But let’s be real here, this will never happen. Papoose or Crooked I will release their debut albums before this.
LMAO!!
oh that’s cold! LMAO!
Who cares just 2 washup old men that aint gon sell
Co-Sign.
Say Goodnight destroys every single Nas/Premo track that hasn’t been on Illmatic.
“Say Goodnight destroys every single Nas/Premo track that hasn’t been on Illmatic.”
As good as that song is with him and Reks, ‘Nas Is Like’ is better as a post-Illmatic Nas/Premo track
You probably listen to French Montana typing like that
wow. I think rap is the only form of music where the older you get, the more worthless people think you are.
it’s obvious this clown hasn’t heard any Nas album post-illmatic
ignorant ass hip hop fan, because of idiots like you hip hop is slowly getting worse. You dont see idiots in any other genre juding music by the age of the artist, cant you see how stupid you sound? Cant you???
Also, why do you care about sales, you’re not getting any money. If the music sounds dope to you, thats what matters, it doesn’t matter if all the 12 year olds like a song/artist, that doesnt mean shit, if thats the majority of your fan base, worthless
Also, the majority of 12 year olds like mcdonalds, that doesnt make mcdonalds the best food ever, idiot. These kids dont know shit, they havent lived long enough to try better food.
who is DJ Premimer? DJ Khaleds beats are much better. fuck NadS! swag
Whos is DJ Khaleds thats the real question. Never heard of the guy but i bet he don’t come close to Premo
Are you f*cking kidding? You are joking right? Premier is your favorite producers favorite producer. You are a funny little guy. Don’t ever mention Khaled in the same sentence as Premo. Please get out yo momma’s basement, change into some clean underwear and then wash your feet. You dirty bastard
nah……looks like Nicki Minaj
and fuck icy boi
We met once at 40/40 and I was like ‘oh Premo, arent you?’ , he was like ‘nah Im jus came 4 all bitches and money’ . I was disappointed bout his mention

Preme ** says ** a lot of shit– how his own label going? Or ain’t it?
DJ Premier has no multi-platinum, platinum or gold singles. DJ Kaled outsold dis old ass rat. swag
a failed !SuperGucciRap/YADIG
shove your fake ass swag up your ass
a hip hop groupie!
WRONG! Premier produced Christina Aguilera’s “Ain’t No Other Man” which is a certified platinum single.
^The MG is right, Christina’s working with Premo on her next CD too so there might be even more hit singles for DJ Premier
even if khaled outsold premo, bet you premo can work wit whoever while aint no one but ross and wayne fuckin with khaled…
Why are they always ignoring or leaving AZ everyone knows Az’s dream is to do a full album with Nas not to mention the fact that AZ is nice as hell whn the production is tight. Primo & Nas if you read please get AZ on board you will not regret it and the fans will be in cloud 9.
Finally, NaS over some great beats again. Now all we need is to add AZ to the mix.
hell fuckin yea! wish they would add him to all the tracks to that coming collaborative album! AZ current shit is fire!
Word. AZ NEEEDS to be on that shit.
Let’s Get It!!!
Hope this actually happens, it would be spectacular
thank fucking God!!!!please make this happen, damnn nas and preemo the greatest
If Dis happens there will be no throne for Gay-Z and Ganye.
God, people are all talk in rap these days. Shut up and do the damn album…BEEN waiting on it. Maybe Common/No I.D. blazed the path for it to happen
preem is the most solid dude thats got his heart n soul so deep into this culture its crazy.. he literally eats, sleeps, n breath’s hiphop, no literally, seriously..
moment of truth still is the most solid cd front to back I’ve ever had, real hiphop at its finest little kiddies..
Nas & Jay Electronica would be epic.
