A new song from Nas' upcoming album Life Is Good has surfaced, and it's a posthumous collaboration with the late Amy Winehouse.

"Cherry Wine," which premiered on BBC's Radio 1 on Tuesday night, was produced by Salaam Remi, a frequent collaborator of both artists. The tune will appear on the rapper's tenth LP, due out on July 17th. 

Nas and Winehouse previously linked up for recording sessions with Remi in 2008, and one of the tracks, "Like Smoke," appeared on Winehouse's album Lioness: Hidden Treasures, released after her death in July 2011.

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
