Two arguably GOATs at work here. Coming off Common’s upcoming The Believer which is hopefully set to move major units. Featuring Nas, who in his own right has been making solid moves lately from Distant Relatives to Raekwon collabs. Can’t wait for this to drop.

Elzhi is one of the nicest going right now, and only fitting he drops his own take on a Nas classic “Halftime” Look out for ELmatic!

This is a great discussion.  This is one in a series of 9th Wonder and Mark Anthony Neal’s “Sampling Soul.”  They bring in Bucknell English Professor James Braxton Peterson for this discussion of Nas’ seminal 1994 album, Illmatic.

I’d love to give exerpts, but that wouldn’t do this justice. Enjoy.

Thanks to Duke University for a forward thinking class, and Nodfactor for the link.
