FRANK OCEAN HITS THE STUDIO WITH NAS

It seems every one wants their chance to work with rising star Frank Ocean, and Nas is making sure that Beyoncé isn’t the only one hitting the lab with Odd Future’s go-to crooner. Frankie recently let the world know that he was in the studio with Nas by twetting, “just played nas a song…on piano. in that moment i realized, im getting a lil better at piano. i gotta keep practicing though“, I initially thought “wow, what a weirdo. Wait, did he just say Nas?” Then, this tweet came from Franks twitter “yea. Nas. like ‘top 5 dead or alive’ Nas.” Just-in-case you thought Frankie was lying, Nas chimed in via twitter “In the studio with my little n—a @frank_ocean.” No one knows where this mystery song will end up and frankly; I don’t care as long as it ends up in my email.
