Nas really does have an album done. The only thing he is waiting on is the right time to drop it.

Hip-Hop fans all over the world started salivating when they saw that Nas had a new song on DJ Khaled’s Major Key album called “Nas Album Done.” What some of us thought was just a song is now a foreshadow as Nas has revealed that he actually does have a new body of work ready to go.

But he is taking his time with releasing it though. In an interview with Complex, QB’s finest revealed his plans for the album:

Musically, the internet is going crazy over “Nas Album Done.” Tell me about the genesis of the track. Did DJ Khaled come to you?

Khaled hit me up and said that he wanted to do this and we had planned some studio days to sit down and we cleared some studio days just to go over records. He knew exactly what he wanted. He had a couple of ideas, but the one we put out, that was the one he really wanted.

Was it your idea to sample Fugees’ “Fu-Gee-La?”

No, that was all Khaled. I texted Ms. Lauryn Hill to ask her if she was cool, she said she was cool. She signed off on it, she gave me the approval. I don’t have the rest of the Fugees’ phone numbers, so I hit Salaam Remi who worked with the Fugees and he signed off on it. I just wanted to get her blessing and we were good.

So is it true then? Is the album done and ready to go?

All we’re doing now is plotting when we’re dropping.

Do you have a title and an idea of when it might come out?

Yes, but it’s not time to put that out there.

Before we get all excited let us not forget about how Nas said he had album done in his verse on ScHoolboy Q’s “Studio” remix back in 2014. It’s been two years since then and he haven’t seen anything close to a Nas album coming out.
