Nas and Pete Rock to Reunite For Upcoming Album
Most devout Nas followers can agree that 1995’s Illmatic was one the most influential hip-hop albums in history. The record is generally known world-wide as the album that shaped Nas to be who he is today. Well fans of the artist and music lovers alike have a special treat to look forward to in the coming months as renowned hip-hop producer Pete Rock has returned to join forces in the studio with Nas in hopes of developing what the rap world hopes to be his next Illmatic.
Rock recaps how the duo was reunited in the most casual of ways: “I got a call from [Nas] one day. I was very excited when I saw that he called. I called him back and we conversed a bit, through the text, got him on the phone and we kicked it…. I sent music to him. And I'll just continue to send him music, you know? Whatever he likes, he'll probably put to the side. But, I'm real excited about working with him." (AllHipHop.com)
Other than bringing the two hip-hop giants back together in the studio, The New York-based producer has been keeping busy with other projects. Rock has also relaunched his own label Soul Brother Recordings and will be releasing material of some brand new artists in the near future. In addition to this, Pete has been adding his finishing touches to the recent Redman & Methman track, "A-Yo" and laying the beats down for his own solo material.
The two have yet to work together since Illmatic made rap history in 1995, and just as the world has been waiting for a reuniting the likes of this, so too have the artist and producer been hoping to cross paths once again. The duo has yet to announce a release date for the album, however we here at Universal Music are confident that the outcome of their sophomore production, will be just as influential and life changing as their previous.
