"...he wanted to move on and do it independently, so we could do it how we want it."

Återigen sätter DJ Premier ett kommande Nas-album, producerat av honom själv, på agendan. Tillsammans med Royce Da 5’9” och Adrian Younge satt Dj Premier ner för en intervju med VladTV. I intervjun avslöjar att Premier, vars riktiga namn är Christopher Martin, att Nas har ett sista album som han måste släppa med Def Jam innan han kan arbeta med självständiga projekt.


“Nas has one more album to obligate to Def Jam. He said he didn’t really want to do [the joint album] there, he wanted to move on and do it independently, so we could do it how we want it. So I was like, ‘All right, when the time come just holler at me, I’m here.”

DJ Premier fortsatte med att säga att kemin mellan dem två är väldigt stark.

“Nas is another one that I have a cool relationship like I have with Royce. It’s kind of, we may not see each other everyday, or talk to each other all the time but it’s regular. Royce and I have a regular relationship. It’s no big deal, but when it goes down, it goes down. When we get in the lab we both really represent. Same thing with Nas. We pick it where we left out in conversation…If he says, ‘Let’s do it,’ I’m not like, ‘Oh, I’m tired of waiting.’ It’s like he could say I’m ready tomorrow and I’m with it. I’m in no rush. Right now we have PRhyme. Whenever it goes down, it’s going to be natural to do. It’s going to be special because it’s not like anything I’ve done in the history of my career.”

Han fortsätter sedan med att nämna Nas forna fiende Jay Z som en annan rappare han definitivt klickar med.

“Jay Z is the same thing. “I’ll just jump into a conversation that we talked about 20 years [ago] and you think that we just hit a pause button and released a conversation. I remember when he was doing his Reasonable Doubt anniversary documentary at my studio, and we were having an argument about some stuff. Jay waked in and jumps in like he was there the whole half hour. It’s funny because that how natural we picked up from being around each other.”

När vi får höra ett nytt Nas-album signerat DJ Premier återstår att se. Förhoppningsvis dröjer det inte allt för länge.
