One of my favorite songs off of I Am , the first of two albums Nas dropped in 1999 (The other, Nastradamus ) is " Favor for a Favor " featuring Houston legend, Scarface.

To Nas - and to most of us - Amy Winehouse's passing was tragic, but her memory lives on through her music. His newest release "Cherry Wine" features that famously sultry voice lazily singing the hook ("Where is he?/ The man who was just like me/ I heard he was hiding somewhere I can’t see"). Their friendship was more than unlikely, but after an introduction by their shared producer Salaam Remy, they hit it off. Luckily these two were able to do a track together amidst their busy lives and Winehouse's sudden passing. While Nas stands out in the verses [...]
Nas and Amy Winehouse have a relationship dating back to 2006 when the late singer name checked him on ' Me and Mr. Jones ' off her critically-acclaimed Back to Black album.

But it's Amy's turn to return the favor. In a new track off Nas's upcoming album, Life Is Good , [...]

There's a saying that goes, "One man's loss is another man's gain." Well those people in attendance at NY's annual Summer Jam show yesterday definitely gained quite a bit when Nas and Lauryn Hill hit the stage to perform.
