NAS & ERYKAH BADU – THIS BITTER LAND

Nas and Erykah Badu join forces for “This Bitter Land” off of the soundtrack of “The Land” (which Nas executive produced) about four teenagers from Cleveland who are willing to do anything to change their lives for the better. The song finds Nas rhyming over violins while Ms. Badu channels the energy of Nina Simone for this excellent song. Check out the movie On Demand on July 29th.

NAS – COPS KEEP FIRING (GREEN LANTERN REMIX)

DJ Green Lantern continues his onslaught of remixing old songs from the vault and this time Nas gets the treatment.

For the mixtape, Nas game me a bunch of vocals from songs he wasn’t gonna use and I made new songs with those. “Cops Keep Firing” originally started as an extra verse he didn’t use on “Be A N*&^ Too.” I made a new beat, added the scratch hook and when he heard it he did a new second verse too it. Up until now it’s only been available on that mixtape (with shout outs, drops, etc). Here it is, CDQ and re-mastered for heavy knock in your Beats be Dre’s.
