Halftime

About Halftime

Two years prior to the release of “Illmatic“, Nas' debut single “Halftime” was released in 1992 from the “Zebrahead“ soundtrack. The jazzy boom bap track was produced by Large Professor, who provided some background information on the recording of the track in an interview with XXL: "The session for “Halftime” was hot, ‘cause he was gettin’ his big chance. […] I had the beat already. And we sat there, cooled out a lil' bit. And he was takin' it easy .
