Dating back to 1998’s Tim’s Bio: Life From The Basement album, Timbaland and Nas have worked together nearly a half-dozen times. The Queens, New York MC extraordinaire called upon the Virginia producer/rapper for his Nastradamus single, “You Owe Me,” in addition to work together alongside everybody ranging from Jay Z to the Hot Boys.

2015 will see more of these Interstate 95 links. On his Facebook, Timbo previewed 15 seconds of a new track from Nas…and it sounds nothing like Nastradamus. Instead, fast flipped bars, vivid imagery, and that raspy cadence light the way for anticipation on whatever is to be.
