Nas and 21 Savage have teamed up for a new song called ‘One Mic, One Gun’. It arrives just two weeks after 21 Savage sparked controversy for calling the Queens rapper irrelevant, reportedly saying in a conversation on the audio chat app Clubhouse: “I don’t feel like he’s relevant. I just feel like he got a loyal fan base. He still makes good music.” He would later clairify on Twitter, “I would never disrespect nas or any legend who paved the way for me y’all be tryna take stuff and run with it.” Listen to ‘One Mic, One Gun’ below.
Announcing ‘One Mic, One Gun’ on Instagram, Nas wrote: “Only way we moving is with love, respect and unity. The foundational principles of hip hop. Excited to collaborate with my young brother and I hope more artist use turbulent moments and turn them into a time to make new art. That’s what it’s about.”
Both rappers put out new albums in November: 21 Savage released Her Loss, his collaborative LP with Drake, while Nas dropped Kings Disease III.
