Nas<\/a> spits circles around a jazzy beat on his previously unreleased track, \u201cJarreau of Rap (Skatt Attack),\u201d produced by Eddie Cole and featuring Al Jarreau and trumpeter Keyon Harrold. The track is set to appear on Nas\u2019 upcoming compilation, The Lost Tapes 2<\/em><\/a>, out July 19th via Mass Appeal and Def Jam.<\/p>\n

\u201cJarreau of Rap\u201d is a fitting tribute to its namesake, Al Jarreau, whose rendition of Dave Brubeck\u2019s \u201c(Round, Round, Round) Blue Rondo \u00e0 la Turk\u201d<\/a> serves as the core sample on the song. Nas embraces the playful energy of Jarreau\u2019s \u201cBlue Rondo,\u201d slipping into a sing-song flow as he drops classic punch lines like, \u201cNeed a day to relax, get a massage\/Al Jarreau on the track, Al Jarreau of rap\/Made the Mets hat\/More famous than Strawberry, I know this already.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Lost Tapes 2<\/em> collects unreleased tracks from Nas\u2019 last four albums \u2014 2006\u2019s Hip-Hop is Dead<\/em><\/a>, 2008\u2019s Untitled<\/em><\/a>, 2012\u2019s Life Is Good<\/em><\/a> and 2018\u2019s Nasir<\/em><\/a> \u2014 and arrives 17 years after the highly acclaimed first installment, which featured unreleased tracks from 1999\u2019s I Am\u2026 <\/em><\/a>and 2001\u2019s Stillmatic<\/em><\/a>. The production credits on Lost Tapes 2<\/em> includes Swizz Beatz, Pharrell, RZA, Hit-Boy, Pete Rock, the Alchemist, No I.D. and Kanye West.<\/p>\n
