Speaking on the new album to Billboard.com, God’s Son said ‘It’s free flowing, I want to be able to play this record after it’s done and be like, I did it, I have to do something that feels right, and that it could last’.
Speaking on the follow up to 2008’s ‘Untitled’ album, Nas said he’s in a new state of mind and is inspired by new cats in the game, mentioning Odd Future, Lil Wayne, Drake and others as current influences.
‘The last record I did was, I was in a different place than I am now. Now, I’m happy to express that different place and I’m just happy about music. I’m watching everyone do their thing, young guys, women, artists just doing they thing’.
Nas has said that the new album, his tenth solo release doesn’t really have a concept as of yet and that he is still experimenting with it. He also stated that it is too early to say for sure who will be on it as far as production goes, but he did mention Salaam Remi, whom Nas has frequently worked with in the past on such hit records as ; Get Down, Made You Look and Thief’s Theme to name just a few.
