Please give Sosa a call. Son got a song so gangsta for you. Magic happens when you merge forces with The Vizualiza. “The Essence,” perhaps your best back and forth collabo, even landed you a Grammy nod. Who woulda thunk it? And all you did was rap about your haircut and such. AZ wants to rekindle that flame. He picked a beat just for you and probably has a 16 ready to go. The only ingredient missing is you.
Here’s Anthony Cruz:
“I still went gold, but it was under the radar for the notoriety that – I was a co-defendant to one of the so-called kings of New York. As far as saying Nas was the King of New York lyricism-wise, I’m his co-defendant so I should be known for what I brought to the table. ‘Cause not anybody could be his co-defendant at the end of the day, so I feel like I put my work in. And [so] it kinda went under the radar, but I built my own fanbase and I’m still able to be here and learn some business through the whole process, so it was cool.”
See, he was content with being your weed carrier back then. The least you can do is give him another “Mo Money, Mo Murder.” Yes, we know you have other demons to conquer but we also know you’re warrior enough to pull through. Besides, you’ve proven time and time again that you’re one of the most proficient at tapping into the therapeutic power of music. In fact, your last great album (Stillmatic) was recorded during the most difficult period in your life. So, you see, even on your worst day, you’re still one of the brightest.
Here’s Sosa again:
“I got a record so gangsta for homie,” said Sosa of his plans to reunite on wax with Nas. “I know he’s going through it [dealing with personal issues right now], but this is my message to the homie, c’mon and let’s keep it going, what don’t kill us makes us stronger. We don’t speak as much [as we used to], but I’m a stand-up dude and we from that stand-up era, so he know what it is. Tell him c’mon out of the cage and get with his boy. That’s my word to him. [Unfortunately] I gotta speak via interview to reach him.”
Reach out to your former Firm brother, then give Primo a buzz and let’s make that dream album a reality.
