Nas told Billboard last week he was cooking up a few surprises, and now we know one of them: an as-yet-untitled collaboration with reggae star Damian Marley.The pair has been recording quietly in Los Angeles for the last several weeks. Nas' manager, Anthony Saleh, tells Billboard the project will most likely be released in the spring. It's not clear which label will release it; Nas is signed to Def Jam, while Marley records for Universal."We've been recording in a studio, where people like Mick Jagger are recording. No one knew who we were," Saleh says. "We're going to Miami this week to finish it up and we're aiming to tour for the album this summer." In addition to its regular incarnation, the album may also be released in a special edition exclusively through Best Buy or Target. A portion of the proceeds will go toward building a school in Africa, though details are still being solidified.As previously reported, Nas guests on a song on Dr. Dre's long-in-the-works "Detox" album, due sometime this year. He was nominated for two Grammys at Sunday's 51st annual awards but lost in both the best rap solo performance and best rap album categories.

I just read it on AHH. I hope they make a lot of music to smoke to (instrumental/vibe wise). I could go for alot of tracks like "Blunt Ashes". Somethin' real mellow to smoke to on every/most tracks and not that "inspired" sound on all the music (that shit gets old) we'll be looking at a classic. It can't get too complicated 4 a classic to come out like that.

My favorite track of his is "Living In Love", dude is basically flowing on that track and his flow is almost like a Bone style, because it's like singing and rapping at the same time, the shit sounds tight as fuck
