Sadly, on the 30th anniversary of their very first conference on wax, Nas and Premo dropped “Define My Name,” the very first domino to fall in the rollout of their long-awaited joint album. Including signature scratches by Premier, and pointed lyrical spills for Nas, “Define My Name’s” title obtains from Esco’s opening bars on their 1999 traditional “Nas Is Like” and provides listeners a sneak peek of what’s (ideally) to come.

We’ll see if this back-and-forth continues.–AS
