DX: Can you speak on the Nas album that youre supposed to be producing? Howd that come about? Have you guys started working on it yet?
DJ Premier: I told Nas that I wanna be on Life Is Good, and Ive been deejaying for him lately on his Illmatic Tour. I was like, "Yo. I wanna get on Life Is Good. I got some joints," and I gave em to him when we were doing the Regeneration thing with the Berklee Orchestra. He came to the studio and we were trading beats. He took some but he was like, "Yo, this album is almost like a Here, My Dear album," like Marvin Gaye did for his ex-wife. So I was like, "You know what? If it doesnt fit that, then it doesnt fit it. Ill wait until we do our album," and he said, "Wait, let me get through this and put this one out, well start very soon this year." So Hes said that before but I think this time its going down because theres been more involvement with management and planning it out on how to do it. Im take his word for it that its gonna start this year.
