Music: Nas Talks New 'Daughters' Track x Upcoming Album

XXL Magazine caught up with the Queensbridge rapper and he explained the inspiration behind the track.

"It's amazing, man. [My daughter]'s so important to me and she always has been. They grow so fast and time flies man. Before you know it, you're looking at a little lady," he explained. "She's my first kid, my first time watching a child become a teen and a little adult before my eyes. That's one of the most important things in my life. She is. I can't get away from talking about it. It's actually one of the first songs I recorded for this album."

In regards to how the new track fits into the album, Nas added,

"I guess we're starting to give you the next chapter. It's like a story in a way. We're about to give you the next records and give the people the album. That's just opening up the album to people, it's go time. We started, 'Nasty' been out there for a long time. Then 'The Don' that video should drop this week. Then, we open. The book is open. The movie begins. So 'Daughters' is like welcome to my world."

The track, though open and hones,t has angered the mother of Nas' daughter. She took to Twitter to air out her disapproval of the track.
