Nas has had an interesting way of promoting his latest Untitled album. After being pretty much forced to change the title of his new LP to Untitled, Esco named his mixtape The Nigger Tape (Download Here). Now, the album is almost near its release date and the mixtape is going to set that up for him even more. Along with The Evil Genius Green Lantern, Nas is putting together quite a lot for the tape."This shit is gonna have the streets right and have the streets ready for the album."
Some of the tracks have unreleased Nas vocals that Lantern used to create brand new songs. This led to some inspiration as Nas heard the beats and wanted to create new verses around those beats.
"I was like, 'Let me get some exclusives. I wanna make a movie,' " Green told MTV recently.
"We went to the studio, and this man's work speaks for itself," Nas noted. "He gave me some of the joints. Some of the joints sounded like they were right for the album. I had to snatch them for the album. We really getting it done. It's coming out right."
Aside from the mixtape, Lantern also got some work on the Untitled album. "Black President," a highly anticipated joint is on there, and so is "Like Me."
"There's another one called 'Like Me.' It was supposed to be for the mixtape. He gave me acappellas that wasn't out yet. I made a song around it. New beat, had somebody come and make a hook. It's like some pimp shit. Nas loved it. He put another verse on it and said, 'I need it for my album. Don't put it on the mixtape.' When they did the final cut of the album, 'Like Me' got cut, but it's on the international release and the iTunes and Amazon.com exclusive."
The official Untitled album is set to be released next month, July 15.
