Nas's classic debut album Illmatic celebrates its 30th anniversary today (April 19), and he's shared a new song with album collaborator DJ Premier to mark the occasion.
Nas and Primo have teamed up for "Define My Name," which you can hear in the player below. A press release notes that the two will deliver a collaborative album later this year.
DJ Premier contributed a trio of beats to Illmatic in 1994, producing "N.Y. State of Mind," "Memory Lane (Sittin' in da Park)" and "Represent."
Last year, Nas shared albums Magic 2 and Magic 3, rounding out a trio of Magic albums recorded with Hit-Boy. That series of LPs ran concurrently alongside their King's Disease release series, also a trio.
