    "comment": "Q-Tip handled keyboards, drums, and programming\n\n1994 debut from Nas. Sampling The Heath Brothers' \"Smilin' Billy Suite Pt 2\" and produced by Q-Tip, \"One Love\" is composed as a series of letters written by Nas to his incarcerated friends, describing events that have occurred prior to and after the receivers' imprisonment.  \n\n\"Q-Tip used to come and hang out with me in my projects from time to time. I remember him coming out there and hanging out, and I remember him letting me hang out at his session when he was working on Midnight Marauders. I thought he was just the most incredible, so to have him producing my album, for him to even do the chorus for me is a blessing. The song just came from life, it's a song about letters to prison inmates, friends of mine, shout-outs to childhood friends and their uncles and people who were like family to me. I was, again, too young to be going through all of that. That's what I think about when I hear that album. I was too young to be going through all of that.\"  https://bit.ly/3nTAKLC\n\nCheck out the powerful video for \"One Love\": \nhttps://youtu.be/hxce_qvhi5I",
