Nas duets with his late friend Amy Winehouse on the Salaam Remi-produced “Like Smoke.” The two struck up a friendship after Amy name checked Nas on Back to Black‘s “Me & Mr Jones.”
“You know how me and Amy are, straight players,” raps the Queens MC on the retro-soul number, which was recorded in May 2008.
Their collaboration can be found on the soulstress’ posthumous album Lioness: Hidden Treasures, due December 5.

Amazing. Wish she had put this out 3 years ago and more than anything, was still here. Regardless of if she was doing poorly or having setbacks, I never gave up hope for the third album. Its ashame she couldn’t complete this stuff.

I never wanted you
To be my man
I just need your company
Don’t wanna get dependent on
Your time or who you spend it on
But you lose it when you love the man
Like smoke I hang around
In the balance
Woah-oh

Calm down everybody. It’s a good song but it’s not the best thing i’ve heard in the last 6 months, talkless, last year. Don’t get carried away with the fact that she’s dead n all. It’s a good song. Just leave it at that.
Love Music, Live Life
