Nas is set to drop new music with Hit-Boy next week, which was revealed in a video posted to social media by Hit-Boy.
In the clip, Nas states, “I’ve been trying to do this with this man for years. I finally got that time, that alignment … I’m super, super proud.” It’s unclear if the project will be a single or a full-length album, but it will be released next Friday, August 21. Nas spoke about the collaboration earlier this year during a sit-down with Video Music Box creator Ralph McDaniels. Nas explained, “There’s some projects going on. One of them, I was working with Hit-Boy and I still am. And then there’s another, the one I’m working on that I don’t want to disclose. But Hit-Boy, that’s been fun working with him. So he played a snippet in the battles the other day, a snippet of something. We got some things.”
