A Nas and DJ Premier album has long been at the top of many rap fans’ wish list, and while it remains to be seen if the sought-after project will ever happen, the pair do have something up their sleeve.

On Thursday (July 7), Premo teased a new collaboration with the legendary Queensbridge MC via a short video posted on social media. The 11-second clip shows the producer’s gold Illmatic plaque hanging at his studio before panning across to the door to “Control Room B.” All the while, a snippet of a brand new Nas and DJ Premier track plays in the background.

“7/15 @Nas,” Premo wrote in the caption of his post, signaling a July 15 release date for their cryptic collaboration.
