The ever-conscious Nas remixes “Help Somebody,” off of soulful R&B crooner Maxwell’s fourth studio album, BLACKsummers’night. The track mixes guitar riffs, powerful lyrics and Maxwell’s signature falsetto. Nas challenges listeners to address issues of immigration, global poverty and unemployment over a busy horn section, rapping; “I pray to god that new plan unfolds/ I gotta say it and it goes /I started in the projects now look what I accomplished/ to say nobody helped me, is nonsense.” With the prevailing lyrics and captivating band sound, its no surprise that Maxwell’s BLACKsummers’night has garnered six Grammy noms.
