"Me and my wife was thinking about doing this record together, I'm doing my dream. If you could, wouldn't you do it? What else would you do, every time I do something, it's, 'Oh, he's doing it because this and that.' Since my first album, everybody has an explanation of why. What am I supposed to be doing here? So I wanna drop the Dre album and the Premier album on the same day. That's what I'm thinking."

Despite all of the talk about who his next two albums will feature, the architect of one of the greatest diss tracks ever is still very focused on his current album "Untitled" and plans to release a second single to follow his first one "Hero". While many were surprised to see a Polow Da Don Produced track on a Nas album, the rapper felt it natural explaining what brought these two together.

"I was almost gonna not do a single, but I wanted a song I could hear in the clubs, 'cause I knew the album didn't have that. I wanted a song that I could hear when I'm poppin' bottles. That's what 'Hero' was for me. Polow was one of my favorite guys; he's just a nice-ass guy. ... I was like, 'No single, no video. Let's just make this a record that we talk about.' "

Nas's current album "Untitled" was number one on the charts last week with a total of 187,000 copies sold.
