- Nas and DJ Premier joined forces 30 years ago on Nas's iconic debut album 'Illimatic', marking the start of their legendary careers in hip-hop. Now, they're set to drop their highly-anticipated first collaborative album later this year. Although the title and release date remain a mystery, their latest single, 'Define My Name,' gives a glimpse into their upcoming project.
“At twenty, I said I’d better quit by thirty / Then by thirty, I thought by forty rapping is corny / How wrong was I? / Never would have thought at fifty, new songs by Nas would be hard and live,” Nas raps on the second verse. Illimatic was released when the rapper was 20 years old. He’ll turn 51 this year.
The outro of 'Define My Name' features Nas and DJ Premier reflecting on their journey so far and envisioning their future direction. Nas DJ Premier Define My Name Reaction Excited For Nas & Preemo Album? Illmatic 30 Draft

Nas is the best dj premier is one of the best one of the best combinations ever!!!
Thanks for watching.✊🏾💯
Hip Hop definitely needs this combination. A lot of trash music being pushed out today. I'm glad they're taking it back to the golden era.
No Nas one of Da Best but Dj Premier is Da Best think real Clearly and keep Nas as ur Best but Dj Premier has no competition in any category but Money . If da radio would still have a balance of nursery emo trap & Lyrikal Miracle / Story Telling Battle to destroy Niggaz fo pennies shit than Premo money would be Longer Than at least Timbaland or even Dre with good promotions. Can't wait for Dj Premier Edition Beats, Bose Pioneer or better yet Cerwin Vega Headphones. Thank u Rakim this feature is Golden
