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.

“Satisfied”

Tom Waits | 2011

Only the genius of Tom Waits could combine the subject of mortality, a reoccurring theme in his work, with wordplay that name checks both Mick and Keith, whom he calls "Mr. Jagger" and "Mr. Richards," and the title of their magnum opus, "Satisfaction." And to show just how cool Waits really is, he even got Mr. Richards to play along, one of nine guest appearances the guitarist has made on three Waits albums. "This growling roadhouse stomp is a late-breaking response to the Stones' greatest hit," Rolling Stone said of the track.
