Nas Enlists Amy Winehouse, Mary J. Blige, Rick Ross for ‘Life Is Good’
Posted by Mr.North under album preview , good for hip hop , things I like[6] Comments
Nas wants to celebrate and invites us all to do so on Life Is Good, his 10th studio album set to drop on July 17. For his first solo album since 2008′s Untitled, Nas offers an 18-track deluxe edition that includes appearances from Mary J. Blige, Rick Ross, Large Professor, Swizz Beatz, Miguel, and Anthony Hamilton. The one guest feature that stands out comes from the late Amy Winehouse, who’ll appear on “Cherry Wine.” With No I.D. and Salaam Remi handling executive producer duties, that doesn’t mean Nasty Nas didn’t reach out to other producers as J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, Noah “40″ Shebib, Buckwild, Boi-1da, and Rodney Jerkins all offer contributions.
The project is supported by the singles “The Don,” “Daughters,” and yesterday’s new offering with Rick Ross, “Accident Murderers.”

I’m so tempted to listen to “Accidental Murderers”, but I need to stay disciplined and wait. I can’t wait to get this record. I didn’t think Nas would go this hard promoting and build up so much anticipation. He’s usually so laid back and just lets his records do what they do. Untitled and Distant Relatives were incredible music, and I think this one will be too.

@ Flowdini
His doing the safe thing now his not doing him … hes stopped leading and is now a follower, doing whats being done, using the “In” producers.
This is how a Rick Ross album would look without the features.
I hope this following thing will work 4 him

Another Ignoramus acting too smart for his own good. When did NO ID and Salaam Remmy become “In producers”? Those 2 did majority of the production with a sprinkle of work from other good producers. Oh i see, cos Premo, AZ and Pete Rock didnt make d album makes it less hot right? SMH
