Nas Hints at Long Awaited DJ Premier and Mobb Deep Collaborations
Nas has been on a remarkable streak for the past six years, showing once again why he’s considered a legendary artist in the genre. And he’s not slowing down anytime soon. In fact, he’s gearing up for something even bigger, teaming up with two of his most famous collaborators, DJ Premier and Mobb Deep. Recently, Nas shared a behind the scenes look at his busy recording schedule for March on Instagram. DJ Premier will be joining him in the studio. He’s a legendary producer known for crafting those classic hip-hop beats.
Together, they’re working on a collaboration album fans have hoped for since 2006. We got a sneak peek of their chemistry in the song “Define My Name,” but with more recording sessions coming up, it looks like the full album could finally drop in 2025. Nas also took a moment to celebrate DJ Premier’s birthday on social media, showing that their friendship goes beyond just making music together. You can expect something truly special when two legends join forces like this. For hip-hop fans, the idea of Nas’s brilliant storytelling combined with Premier’s unique sound is like a dream come true.
Nas hinted at a possible reunion with Mobb Deep too. Although the group’s history was changed forever by the loss of Prodigy in 2017, the spirit of Mobb Deep still lives on. Havoc, the other half of the duo, has continued to honor their legacy, and a collaboration with Nas would be a touching tribute to their long friendship. Their earlier tracks together, like “Eye for an Eye” and “Give It Up Fast,” are still beloved classics in hip-hop culture. Nas’s recent albums have already shown that he’s still relevant and innovative, but the promise of these collaborations adds even more excitement.

Kalpee Honors Heritage and Heart on His Emotion-Rich New EP Dougla Boi
Kalpee is back with Dougla Boi, a beautiful new EP that is both personal and powerful. It gives listeners a close look at the layers of identity, heritage, and emotion that make him who he is. The Trinidad and Tobago artist is confident in his own space, which is rooted in New Calypso and polished with hints of dancehall, R&B, and afrobeats. In this space, genre bends, but emotion leads.
Named after the Trinidadian word for someone of mixed African and Indian heritage, Dougla Boi is honest, proud, and warm about the complexities of culture. Kalpee opens a window into the dualities that define him across six tracks, turning personal truth into universal resonance. The EP is just under 19 minutes long, but every second is carefully planned to take listeners on a journey through courage, joy, healing, and the quiet strength that comes from accepting all parts of yourself.
The first single, “Under,” stands out right away for its calming yet emotionally charged experience. Kalpee’s voice flows over a beat that sounds both new and old, fitting the EP’s theme of bringing cultures together. It’s one of the best examples of how he can mix soft and hard sounds, which is what makes his New Calypso sound so unique.
“Everybody,” which features Full Blown, is another excellent song that has already done very well. It has a happy vibe and an infectious bounce, making it one of the EP’s most replayable songs. “Everybody” captures the spirit of community and shared experience, which is what Kalpee means when he says that identity is not a box but a rhythm.
