Nas says Firm Reunion is a possibility

By: Yves Erwin Salomon

Nas recently reunited with members of his late '90s super group, The Firm, during performances in New York City and Philadelphia. The group initially consisted of Nas, Foxy Brown, AZ, and Cormega, who was later replaced by Nature, and they released their debut, The Album, in 1997. Nas told MTV.com, "It's been years since I seen Foxy Brown and the rest of the Firm. AZ is always around, but the rest of them, it's hard to get to. But this time around, man, I think they felt it was cool. ... For whatever reason, I felt like reaching out, and they was cool. They responded, so I was happy about that. To bring them back on the set, I just saw them that day. I ain't see them in years. But I saw them that day and we knocked it out."

As for as a reunion album, Nas said, "I don't know. I wanted to start off with the show and see where it went from there, to tell you the truth. Foxy's dope. 'Mega is dope, so who knows."

Nas is still promoting his latest album, Hip Hop Is Dead, but the rapper is already working on a new album. He explained, "I don't know how to characterize it. It's just gonna be ... I'm not gonna play around."
