Just recently, Nas and 50 Cent collaborated on the song titled “Office Hours” which appeared on the “Magic 2” album. “Nas, when I first interacted with him, he was like, ‘Yo, who’s that?’” 50 Cent said previously. “’Cause the ‘How to Rob’ record got his attention. He’s like, ‘Yo, that’s like when I first came out. That energy is like raw.’ And he just wanted to see who I was. Just wanted me to be around and s–t like that. Then, he let me come on tour with him and he didn’t have to do that.”

“Nas got a CD coming out, Magic 2, that I’m featured on,” he said about the collab. “I got a joint with him called ‘Office Hours’ we did together. We ain’t worked together since Power of a Dollar. It was cool to get in with him and do something like that. It’s interesting that the relationship is different because we in two different places now.”
