In July, Nas shared a snippet of “Call Me By Your Name,” as he captioned the video of himself lip-syncing along to the tune just that.
He simply wrote: “CALL ME BY YOUR NAME” and added the telephone and love heart exclamation mark emojis.
The rap sensation — who came out in July 2019 — talks about a boy he’s talking to for the first time on the song.
And he also pays homage to the blockbuster film Call Me By Your Name, in which Timothee Chalamet’s character Elio falls in love with Armie Hammer’s American graduate student alter ego Oliver when he comes to his family’s home in Italy to help him with his studies during the summer.
Prior to then, Nas teased fans that his debut album is almost complete and announced he’s working on a mixtape, plus he asked his followers to get involved with the latter release by sending him their beats via email.
He tweeted: “ALBUM’S ALMOST FINISHED BUT WORKING ON A MIXTAPE TOO!
ALL PRODUCERS SEND BEATS TO [email protected] ! (sic)”
The mixtape and album will follow his debut EP, 7, which featured his Bill Ray Cyrus remix of “Old Town Road” and fan-favorites “Panini” and “Rodeo.”
