Nas is flying high on the success of his 10th studio album "Life is Good", and he just released a video for one of my favorite songs from the album!

The posthumous "Cherry Wine" features the late Amy Winehouse, produced by Salaam Remi.

In an interview with NME.com, Nas was quoted saying:

'Cherry Wine' came from "God, and Amy".  Asked if Salaam Remi had the track from their recording sessions, he said:"Yeah, Salaam worked on her last album, and they were working. We don’t even have an explanation for how it happened. It was just magic. It just happened. It was supposed to happen. She made it happen."

Nas also went on to say of his feature on "Like Smoke" from Amy's posthumous Number One album from a previous studio session with Winehouse:

'Part of me didn't want to do the song… Amy and I share a birthday, so she was my sister. And she was just so much fun to be around. She would say things about well-known people in the industry that she didn't like and it would just crack me up… We were all hoping she would pull through and come back."

Be on the lookout for the new posthumous Amy Winehouse box-set "Amy Winehouse at the BBC", set for a November 12th release. The box-set will include an assortment of extra material.
