Nas & Amy Whinehouse "Like Smoke"

It is not news that Nas and the late Amy Whinehouse had a thing, but the question has always been- did Nas date Amy Whinehouse at any time. Anyway, a duet they made back in 2008 has leaked on the internet, and it is going to be the lead single of a posthumous Amy Whinehouse album (Lioness: Hidden Treasure) scheduled to drop next month. By the way, the title of the track is "Like Smoke". Read more about it below.

A bittersweet treat. My Hot97 family got the scoop on this new Amy Winehouse x Nas song, "Like Smoke" which posthumously fulfills the late singer's wish to collaborate with her friend "Mr. Jones". It's a gorgeous retro-soul track, in typical Winehouse style and produced by Salaam Remi back in 2008. "Like Smoke" is the lead single off Lioness: Hidden Treasures, a collection of songs Amy recorded before her death this past July. "...like a polygamist with a twist, will I marry again, maybe, I guess....I be out in London, Camden, hunting for the answers why the God take away the homie. I can't say that I'm a firm believer that we all meet up in eternity. Just hope the big man, show me some courtesy...." (Miss Info TV)

The Lioness: Hidden Treasures is expected to hit retail outlets in a month.

An album of material recorded by Amy Winehouse before she died, including new tracks as well as reworked versions of songs made popular by her and other artists, will be released on Dec. 5, an announcement on her Web site said Monday. The album, called "Lioness: Hidden Treasures," will be released by Island Records, which released her two previous albums, "Frank" and "Back to Black." (New York Times)

Personally, i think it is a lovely lay;back song; and is not the typical Nas track, so it is cool to hear Nas out of his element. Follow this link to listen to the track- like smoke
