Terry Urban Presents: Nas x Amy Winehouse – “Me & Mr. Jones” (Mixtape)
July 6, 2012
On July 17, 2012, the incomparable emcee Nas releases his long awaited album “Life Is Good.” On July 23, 2012, fans commemorate the first anniversary of the passing of the unforgettable Amy Winehouse. What’s the tie-in? Leave it to Terry Urban to make one. His incredible mix of work from the two incredible artists – entitled “Me & Mr. Jones” – is a concept that is (to say the least) an unexpected treat. This is an appropriate release in advance of both monumental events; and a good piece of work on its own merits. Respect.

NAS feat. Amy Winehouse – “Cherry Wine”
July 5, 2012
Another quality gem from Nas’s upcoming “Life Is Good” album due July 17th. This particular single produced by Salaam Remi featuring Nas’s fallen soul sister who shares the same birthday the late great Amy Winehouse. Apparently the collaboration came about through one of Nas’s past recording sessions with Amy Winehouse a few years ago. With all these quality songs the Queensbridge emcee has been releasing all I can say is……Life is Good…. indeed…..

Kelis Gives Her Thoughts On Nas ‘Life Is Good’ Album Cover (Video)
June 25, 2012
The upcoming album from Nas due July 17th entitled ‘Life Is Good’ features a somewhat controversial album cover of him holding the green wedding dress that his former wife Kelis wore at their wedding. Ironically she divorced him unexpectedly leaving nothing but the dress itself hanging in a closet. Nas spoke about this in his VH1: Behind The Music documentary special, but many people were wondering if Kelis would respond to Nas’s account of the seemingly cold way she left him hanging. While out on tour, Kelis gave her thoughts on the artistically relevant album cover. Surprisingly she didn’t diss the album cover & she didn’t dispute or speak on her behalf regarding what was reported in the way she left him hanging….

In this vignette, Nas gives us some insight on how he views the coming of his “Life Is Good” album. For the fan that knows Nas delivers every time, there is anticipation.

Nas Intended To ‘Hang’ Jay-Z At The 2002 Summer Jam Concert (Video)
June 14, 2012
During the height of the battle between Nas & Jay-Z, there were rumors that Nas had planned to hang a likeness of Jay-Z during his performance of the 2002 Summer Jam performance at Giants stadium. It was said that the executives at NY’s Hot 97 stopped it from happening & an upset Nasir Jones bowed out of the show. It’s interesting that all this video is coming out now in 2012, but when pressed about it by reporters Nas refused to comment. Check out the video above & Nas’s response when questioned by MTV below……

Stay tuned for part two where Nas names his favorite rappers of the moment, rates the performance of President Barack Obama’s first term and talks about making the first rapper mixtapes with DJ Clue.” – The Life Files

Nas reveals the new cover for his upcoming ‘Life Is Good’ album & if the album is as creatively dope & inspiring as the cover is then this should be another classic album from Nasir Jones.

Cocaine 80s – “Chain Glow” feat. Nas
May 23, 2012
Cocaine 80s has been been hitting us with more ‘no look passes’ than Lebron James in the past few days with the release of “Queen To Be”, “This Can’t Be A Crime”, & “Take My Keys” all in the last few days. I’d bet no one saw this one coming at all as Nas links up with NO I.D.’s musical clan for this new “Chain Glow” jawn. Common is the only rapper in the group Cocaine 80s so this is truly a special guest appearance & ‘no look pass’ to the fans from the Cocaine 80s team.

Nas – “The Don” (Video)

The setup for this upcoming “Life Is Good” album from Nas is looking pretty good. I was watching the NFL draft & it was dope to hear Nas’s “The Don” record being played in many of the commercial break promos. Now here’s the official video for “The Don”. Nas’s “Life Is Good” album drops July 17th…..
Nas – “Daughters”
April 26, 2012
Nas continues to display why he’s one of the greatest emcees of all-time point blank period. Many artists are 1-dimensional armed only with talk of “doing it big in the club” & all that other material stuff that doesn’t matter, but how many can make an incredibly dope song about our “Daughters”. Although I don’t have any daughters as of yet, I immediately thought of my beautiful nieces listening to this gem produced by NO I.D. Just take a look at your favorite hip hop artist & I’m sure many of them don’t touch as many areas of life with such skill as Nas does. The song will “officially” be released for sale on May 1st & will appear on Nas’s upcoming album due July 17th called “Life Is Good” . This will be Nas’s first album in five years. I’m sure he has more real life experience to touch upon that we can all relate to. Check out the artwork for the single below….
