Swizz Beatz Speaks on Unreleased Nas Collaborations

Sometime in the last couple of years, Swizz Beatz and Nas got close all of a sudden. I respect Swizz, and his beats are always banging, but I never saw Nas as someone to rap over a Swizz beat. Anyway, their collabo on Life Is Good (Summer on Smash), wasn't that bad tho. I actually heard, back then that they had actually recorded like 3 songs during the studio time for that song.




At the recently concluded Vibe Impact Awards, Swizz Beatz spoke on the countless times, over the years that He and Nas made lots of songs in the studio, but that the songs never made it on Nas's albums...except Summer on Smash, which was on Life Is Good.





“This is my Virgo brother. We’ve done many sessions together. A lot of songs never came out, but we did many sessions together. Because like when we get in the studio it’s just a weird vibe because we forget how much we vibe together. Because he go do his thing. I go do my thing. And when we’re finally in the studio it’s like ‘Man, why we ain’t do this six months ago. You know, I gotta turn my album in next week.’ So, we trying to cram in 50 songs in like a week. And then we say ‘Let’s just save it for the next album.’ We did that about four albums back to back. So, hopefully this album, Stoute won’t let that happen.”
