Nas and Amy Winehouse's collaboration "Cherry Wine" was premiered on BBC radio Tuesday night.
"Man, I wanted to go back into an area in music that really erupted from me. Of course, that's the '90s era, and I focus on that, but the way I did it was, I made it for today," Nas told The Huffington Post.
The single produced by Salaam Remi who was a frequent collaborator of Winehouse, was recorded back in 2008 and carries late English singer's voice. "Cherry Wine" is the third track of Nas' upcoming album Life is Good, which is expected to release July 17.
Winehouse was found dead on July 2011 and the statement released on October 2011 explained that her blood alcohol content was five times more than the legal drink-drive limit.
