Nas Hints at Long Awaited DJ Premier and Mobb Deep Collaborations

HonkMagazine

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.

Lisa Boostani creates a mesmerizing tidal realm in “Ocean”

Lisa Boostani

Lisa Boostani’s “Ocean” takes you deep into a sensory world where body, spirit, and myth come together, beyond the surface of genre. Boostani makes a soundscape that is both ethereal and deeply human by combining the broad essence of psychedelic pop with the strong appeal of alternative rock.

Her voice rises as if it is coming from deep within her, shaped by emotion rather than action. She intentionally channels the intangible, turning weakness into strength rather than a source of pain, and “Ocean” tells people to get involved in this inner world, not just watch it. This release is an integral part of her first EP, “One,” which will come out in March 2026 and is based on love, sensuality, and unity.

If “Ocean” is any indication, the EP will show sensuality not as something pretty, but as a kind of spiritual intelligence, a way to know yourself by connecting with others. The song’s textures and structure have an aquatic quality, moving between clarity and delirium, rhythm and freedom. Its emotional focus is on immersion instead of resolution.

The striking quality of “Ocean” is the blend of the mystical worlds. Boostani understands that strength often shows up as gentleness and that deep feelings are better expressed through frequencies than words. She wants people to see consciousness as immediacy, sensation as truth, and openness as an undeniable strength.

NOAH. captures the unspoken signals in enchanting R&B track “That’s Bless”

NOAH.

“That’s Bless” captures the unspoken late-night message, the smile that was exchanged from afar, and the feeling you sense but are afraid to say. NOAH. offers a song with a smoky R&B feel and lyrics that capture unspoken tension, firmly in the realm of emotional ambiguity, where connection is clear but not defined.

This piece concerns the subtle discomfort of mixed signals and quiet longings, when looks say more than words ever could. NOAH. handles the theme with restraint, letting the chemistry simmer rather than explode. NOAH.’s delivery shows a confident gentleness, recognizing that some feelings don’t need strict definitions to be real.

In “That’s Bless,” he captures the essence of connection and the compelling allure that endures, even when both parties pretend it is not there. The composition is based on real-life events, and it acknowledges that specific attachments endure in the heart long after one has persuaded oneself of having progressed.

“That’s Bless” is at the crossroads of closeness and distance, clarity and confusion. The song doesn’t resolve the tension it talks about, and that’s what makes it so powerful. It sums up the connection we say we don’t want but keep coming back to in memory, rhythm, and pulse.
