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. Last month, Esco told MTV that he and Frank Ocean have recorded numerous tracks. No word on if those are in any relation to his album. Hey, an Earl feature would be cool.

Nas Back? To the essence of the young MC from QB? Hey, I’m with it. More metaphors. Less messages.

Before The Roots capped off their picnic last night, Nas did his one-two thing. Here’s film of him performing “If I Ruled The World” and “One Mic”.

Although Nasir scrapped the Lost Tapes 2, he’s ready to get the ball moving with his next album, Life Is Good.
