Nas Reveals Details of Forthcoming Double-Album

Chances are, you've probably heard a bit of the new record already: "Thief's Theme"-- which awesomely utilizes a sample from Iron Butterfly's "Inna Gadda Da Vida"-- hit the airways months ago, and has just been followed by the album's heartwarming official first single, "Bridging the Gap", featuring Nas' father, veteran musician Olu Dara.

People who (we assume) aren't related to Nas also make appearances on Street's Disciple-- including Maxwell, Kelis, Ludacris, Busta Rhymes, Lyfe, and AZ. Besides producing much of the album, Q-Tip, Scott Storch, Salaam Remi, and L.E.S. chipped in around the studio and get production credits. Tracklist:
