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 [...]
