Unreleased Music: Nas x Keyshia Cole “More Than I Can Say”

Tuesday, July 26 2011 3:08 PM EST | Posted by: Amaya | Posted in: Blog, Music

Back in 2005, Nas and Keyshia linked up and recorded this song during the sessions for Diddy’s Press Play. Below, Geno gives the story behind it.

Well as you know I worked with a wide range of talent. One cool dude I got to kick it with was my man Nas. Nas is a talented, funny, cool individual. Actually his brother Jungle, to me is one of the funniest dudes I ever met. Don’t believe me check the N.O.R.E. skits. I must credit Jungle though, he was a visionary with A&R talent as well. This song was done in 2005 while I was recording “Press Play”. This beat was one out of many sitting around. I felt this beat was Hip-Hop and to me I pictured Nas flowing to this beat, it was NYC, Queens, and most of all had substance. Well as we know the track never made the album, however the countless studio sessions with Nas and Keyshia were priceless. They were never in the studio at the sametime. Yummy Bingham originally wrote and referenced the hook. I wish this song made it to Press Play, but it never did, I thought the world could use some blessings from Godson.

    So this guy “Geno” hypes the beat up SO much… and doesn’t even shout out the producer. He shouts out the dude who wrote the hook… but not the PRODUCER? That’s weak.

    @….
    Nas rapped over this beat in 2005…this is not even a Nas track. This originally was written for Diddy’s “Press Play.”. Nice track anyway.
