The last time fans had heard anything new from Nas, aside from his work with Damian Marley, was in 2008. The final single released from Untitled was "Make the World Go Round." Patiently, fans waited on more Nas music.

Nas wanted to return last year with a second edition of his compilation, The Lost Tapes. However, due to issues with his label, Def Jam, things were put on hold. After holding out for so long, Nas began recording his next album.

Currently in the studio, Nas announced his latest solo album would be called Life is Good. Earlier this year, the first single off the album leaked. The single, "Nasty," has become a critical success.

After being out for months, now the radio is beginning to pick "Nasty" up. During a recent discussion with MTV News, Nas said he would like more songs like "Nasty" to be out. A video was shot for the song a little over a month ago. While the video has been completed, it has been delayed with no set release date. The video may be delayed, but Nas said it will be coming soon and the fans will love.
