While discussing Mellow Hype and Earl Sweatshirt with Pitchfork, Odd Future’s Hodgy Beats elaborates more on the upcoming Nas-featured track. #swag Pitchfork: What’s the status of the Nas collaboration? HB: The song is almost finished. We’re just waiting on a verse. It will be Frank Ocean, Tyler, Hodgy Beats, and Nas. I’m just stoked to be on a song with him. I know I’ll meet him eventually.

Nas Has Recorded With Odd Future

Everybody wants a piece of Odd Future and apparently Nas wants some too. A rep from the collective has confirmed with XXL that the group has laid a track for Esco’s tentatively titled LP, Life Is Good.

Anyway, photographer extraordinaire Danny Hastings recounts Nas’ cover shoot for I Am (which by the way is a slept-on album). He says his team took an actual molding of Nas’ face causing him to suffocate. That’s the kind of death that makes your soul burn slow. “The first one, you have him being a boy, very young. The second was a little bit older. And the third one, he […]

Mobb Deep & Nas Working On Album ?

After Mobb Deep reunited with Nas on “Dog Shit”, Havoc tells HHDX that he, Prodigy, and Esco plan on working on an album. Whoa. On behalf of rap fans everywhere… “We’re gonna do a Mobb Deep and Nas album.
