Way Gone Wednesdays:  Nas

DateWednesday, June 15, 2011 at 9:14AM

Way Gone Wednesdays usually focuses on artists that travel out of bounds.  Those left-leaning weirdos that I admire so much.  But it's also a place for those who flex incredible skill.  Nas just dropped the hottest mainstream single I've heard in years (from his new album, Life is Good).  I say mainstream because I consider him to be a well-lit artist, but this is real hip-hop.  Something I haven't heard from the chart toppers in a long time.  No synth tracks, no auto-tune, no Rhianna hook.  Just burnin' it down.  This track is way gone.

 

(Produced by Salaam Remi) 

 

(NOTE:  Apparently just a teaser as the track has been removed from Soundcloud.  Boo!  So...here's the Youtube rip.  We win!)
