The idea of a collaborative effort from DJ Premier and Nas has been brought up for years. However, during a recent interview with WM40A, the hit producer revealed that the long-awaited joint project could very well come to life soon.

During his appearance at the A3C music festival in Atlanta, Premo said that the collaboration will go down as soon as Nas drops his next project through Def Jam. It’s doubtful that the joint effort will happen this year, but the future still seems bright for the anticipated project. Premier also comments on Jay Z’s verse on Drake’s “Pound Cake” and discusses his favorite era to sample from. Catch the entire interview here.
