Producer Geno Sims just released this previously unreleased Nas & Keyshia Cole collaboration.
He also provided some a little story about the recording sessions for this song (and eventually more songs).
Well as you know I worked with a wide range of talent. One cool dude I got to kick it with was my man Nas. Nas is a talented, funny, cool individual. Actually his brother Jungle, to me is one of the funniest dudes I ever met. Don’t believe me check the N.O.R.E. skits. I must credit Jungle though, he was a visionary with A&R talent as well. This song was done in 2005 while I was recording “Press Play”. This beat was one out of many sitting around. I felt this beat was Hip-Hop and to me I pictured Nas flowing to this beat, it was NYC, Queens, and most of all had substance. Well as we know the track never made the album, however the countless studio sessions with Nas and Keyshia were priceless. They were never in the studio at the sametime. Yummy Bingham originally wrote and referenced the hook. I wish this song made it to Press Play, but it never did, I thought the world could use some blessings from Godson.
This is for all the Nas and East Coast Hip Hop Heads.

this is exactly why Nas is so damn great. This exact song can come out TODAY, and it would work. It was done 6 years ago, yet it would be a dope Hip Hop song now. Too many rappers who can not do that.
Nas album—–> HURRY!!!!
Exactly! And this joint makes me fiending for a new Nas Album after all.
I mean this Song may sound mad popish but it is a dope song regardless.
Looking back to 2005 this could’ve landed on “Hip Hop is Dead” or “Press Play” (like it said in the article)
