Nas and Columbia Records will officially end their 14-year partnership this November. Columbia announced that they will release a greatest hits collection featuring 12 songs from Nas' catalogue as well as the Nas and Cee-Lo collaboration "Less Than An Hour," which is featured on the Rush Hour 3 Soundtrack. The song, which is Nas' only new material since recording the controversial Hip-Hop Is Dead album, had been making the mixtape rounds for a while before being officially released via AOLmusic.com on August 10.
Nas and his Jones Experience imprint still remain on Def Jam, as the Columbia greatest hits release is likely the last album to fulfill an earlier contractual obligation. As an executive, Nas will continue to oversee the Soul/R&B artist Tre Williams, who is currently signed to his label Ill Will Records.
