Listen to Nas' newest single The Don feat late singer Heavy D
Featuring late hip-hop icon Heavy D, Nas' latest single titled "The Don" has surfaced online on the blog for Hot 97 DJ Funkmaster Flex. The track was co-produced by Salaam Remi and Da Internz and brings an old school vibe and some great Jamaican sounds, completed with nice lyrics: "Every tat means something, that's my word on my body/ I have to lean something with that Mossberg shotty / My n*ggas is ignant, put lead in your pigment/ Just cause y'all were mad at all the years I was getting it."
"Heavy D gave this beat to Salaam for me to rap on," Nas explains over a sputtering, snare drum-infested, boom-bap track, punctuated by a vocal loop from reggae icon Super Cat. The lyrics and delivery are aligned with the vintage Nas vibe delivered on "Nasty", the previous leak from the impending project. "The Don" could make it on his upcoming project Life is Good, due later 2012.
