"I'm proud of myself for doing it and taking it on. It looks like Black History Month [February] is gonna be the month to drop the album. If not, it comes when it comes. But it'll be here soon — soon like right-around-the-corner soon. It's not gonna be a waiting-for-a-long-time type thing. I'm blessed to be in this state of mind I'm in to do this music. ... I love what this whole thing is all about. I'm working with so many people. It is a lot of people I'm working with: Puff, Jermaine [Dupri], some underground cats. Some surprises."
Nas a confirmé à MTV qu'il était en train de travailler avec 2 poids lourds que sont Jermaine Dupri et Diddy, ainsi que quelques figures de l'underground.
Il verrait bien la sortie de l'album pour février mais ne s'avance pas trop...
