"'Before We're Gone' is about my sweet wife and when we were young. The way she shared my beedie outside of S.O.Bs in Manhattan at 25 and the way that true youth love got dense and dark with time. Is it worth it? To go back?.....! Can you.... Go back?"

Here’s the second single from Colin’s Revox Suite, and boy what a concoction! "Bulletproof Monster, the second installment in The Revox Suite , was a challenging experiment. The acapella of Nicki Minaj's verse from "Monster" is in a vault somewhere so I was forced to use it with Kanye's beat underneath, which made adding new vocals tricky. I also had to digitally alter La Roux's "Bulletproof" melody to make it fit the "Monster" beat. Add my revox to that and it feels like I've created a musical Frankenstein. Fitting, I think. Enjoy this Bulletproof Monster." - Colin Munroe

Nas teams up with legendary guitarist Carlos Santana to remake the classic AD/DC song “Back In Black”. The song will be featured on Carlos Santana’s next album entitled Guitar Heaven coming out on September 21st. I'm not feeling this doesn't do the original much justice. I would've expected more from the two legends.
