Similar to Rae and Ghost (and Cappa). My preferred, but unlikely choice would've been GZA, but U-God or Masta Killa would've worked, and it would've set up either of their solos.

A Nas and AZ album rather than The Firm project would've still been released during that era, so it still would've been glossy, and likely EP'd by Trackmasters. So I'm okay with that having not happened lol. I still wish the Def Squad album could've come out a few years earlier than it did, while Erick Sermon was in his zone production-wise. Same for Red and Meth's album as well.

>Nas and Primo for good measure lol
