Nas and DJ Premier reunite after 30 years for their new collaborative effort entitled “Define My Name.”

Clocking in at approximately three minutes, the bass-heavy track hears the Queensbridge emcee look back at his legacy and the weight of his name.

“DNA of King James, kin of Saint Michael/ Polygamous-minded, seven wives on ridiculous timin’/ They always share the same title, that be the whiskey talk/ That’s foul like I stopped and frisked New York/ At twenty, I said I’d better quit by thirty/ Then by thirty, I thought by forty rapping is corny.”

Furthermore, the power duo made an exciting announcement that they will be releasing their landmark collab album later this year.

Preemo announced the news in an Instagram post on Thursday (April 18), writing simply, “New joint at midnight.” He included the single art, a fish-eyed lens photo of the two standing outside somewhere in New York City.

Word of a collaborative project by Nas and DJ Premier first made the rounds after the two mentioned teaming up for a full-length album during a 2007 interview with Scratch.

Nas and DJ Premier produced magic together on the 1994 Hip-Hop classic “Illmatic,” including the singles “N.Y. State of Mind” and “Represent.”
