Is there a NEW Nas Album on the way?

Nowadays (at least for rappers' sake) rappers are very, VERY quiet up until they feel the need to make the news for something. That news could be for a guest verse, a highly anticipated remix, an upcoming tour, a new perfume (hopefully not for this guys case, but do you Nicki Minaj). Or the news could be leading up to something even bigger than all of those:  a new album. And Nas felt the need to break the news to us in a new sweet remix of Schoolboy Q's popular banger "Studio". Check it out below.

Now not only can I say that this song is sweet because of that crazy beat that bumps on any speaker system, I can also say (Schoolboy can too, it is his song) that a legend was in a good enough mood to bless this beat as well!  Boy, it's crazy how far skill can go matched with a little bit of luck isn't it?  (For Schoolboy's sake, not Nas.) I mean as successful a run as Schoolboy has had so far with Oxymoron and the even better success that his single "Studio" has seen (multiple rappers freestyling over it, including multiple remixes), he's probably feeling pretty good right about now going into working on his next album (Schoolboy is hoping for a 2015 release, but he says things can change).

But our focus right now is on this supposed Nas album!  In this remix Nas states that the album is already done and the single is very close to dropping (are you excited yet?), but he also states some other rather odd news that is probably safe to say nobody was expecting. The line "last album on Def Jam and I got so many options" sticks out to even the most novice Nas fan. So what does this mean?  Does Nasty Nas go to another label to release (possible) future albums or does he stay independent?  With the success rappers see staying independent today, this theory isn't too far fetched.  Although it is Nas, I mean come on, its practically his choice if he wants a new label. At this stage in his career it's hard to tell (it "ain't" really, for him) what he wants to do, although the passion in his last Life Is Good album shows that he still has a lot of stories to tell us. Stay posted for further details, more to come as this story develops!
