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.

Tity Boi isn’t wasting any time with releasing new material, and today gives us a brand new visual to accompany his latest track. New mixtape coming soon.

Jadakiss and Styles make themselves comfortable over The Throne’s current banger. This sounds as good as the original.

Ms. Rowland bares it all on the cover of VIBE‘s Aug/Sept JUICE issue. In the issue she speaks on everything that has been going on lately in her life, as well as the past. Issue hits newsstands on August 16th. Excerpt is below.

VIBE: The last album didn’t do well in the States. It did better overseas, particularly in Europe. Do you feel more appreciated in Europe?
Kelly Rowland: No, not really. People still compare me to B over there. I said in an interview recently, ‘You know, if you guys would be a little bit more intelligent and ask me about myself we’ll have a much better interview.’ You can’t want a story from me and keep asking me about the past.

Her new album, Here I Am is in stores today.

With Cataracs on the beat, Mistah F.A.B. and T-Pain light things up with their latest collaboration. Da Yellow Bus Rydah is still coming.

After four months and two hit singles, Wiz Khalifa’s major label debut Rolling Papers has gone gold with 505,470 copies scanned. Congrats to Wiz, Benjy, Artie, and the entire Rostrum staff. Oh and Atlantic too. Album in stores now.

Fuck—the—frail shit. Seems like Jizzle brought a Summer Jam of his own to the Highline Ballroom last night. After bringing out Jay, Ye, Bun, and Fab, Jeezy took a breather and introduced D-Block for “Kiss Your Ass Goodbye” and “We Gon’ Make It”. After the cut some photos courtesy of BAM.
