Either before or during his Illmatic sessions (I’m not entirely sure), Nas crafted the song “Life Is Like A Dice Game.” While the song was left on the cutting room floor, a (seemingly unfinished) version of the song would be leaked.
Teaming with the Spotify Singles program, Nas has updated the track for the streaming platform. Produced by Hit-Boy (who uses the same Norman Connors sample found in the original), Nas also adds Freddie Gibbs and Cordae to the mix as well. Hopefully we can get a mastered version of the original one day?
