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.

“Empatia,“ the stunning electronic debut of Aurien, in collaboration with Jab Vix, is the start of a new creative universe under Aurien’s newly launched imprint Château Bonheur Musique. The track feels like a doorway into a curated emotional space, built from atmosphere, storytelling, and immersive sound design.

“Empatia” is founded upon a contemporary electronic aesthetics that favors texture. The production is sleek and considered, offering up soft rhythmic pulses within roomy layers that breathe. Working with Jab Vix gives texture and dynamics to Aurien’s perspective and sets the sound for the song. It’s more about feeling the music than looking for peaks of high energy. It builds slowly and invites you to sit in the mood.

A highlight is the “Elegant Mix,” which takes the original and gives it a more subdued, slicker makeover. It allows the heart of the composition to come through more intimately, and this duality reinforces the idea behind Château Bonheur Musique as environment, experience, and feeling. “Empatia” is a debut statement and manifesto for the immersive, emotionally intelligent electronic music that works as effortlessly as it does in shared spaces. It’s a thoughtful direction for Aurien, where sound is not just heard, but lived in.
