I really thought he wrote that track, too. The below excerpt is taken from Nas’ pretty lengthy Q&A for Reddit’s Ask Me Anything series, of which — if you have time to spend lost in the entire session — you can enjoy here (where he also reveals wanting to work with Bishop Nehru, having a crush on Sofia Vergara, asking Jay Electronica to drop his album and more).
