A new version of Nas’ “Life Is Like a Dice Game” track featuring Cordae and Freddie Gibbs has dropped via Spotify.

“Spotify pulled out a leak from the 90s that I did eons ago, and asked if I could resurrect it,” Nas said of the track, per HipHop-N-More. “I can’t remember where I recorded it, or who produced it – maybe Easy Moe Bee, he was killin’ the game at the time! Carl Chery from Spotify suggested we connect with Freddie & Cordae to bring the song new life and I loved it.”

The track was revamped by Hit-Boy and is available now on Spotify. Take a listen to it below.

The album boasted features from  Anderson .Paak, ASAP Ferg, The Firm, Charlie Wilson, Hit-Boy, Big Sean, Don Toliver, Lil Durk, Brucie B, and Fivio Foreign.
