Queens representative Cormega — after a four year hiatus — has a new album coming out. Unlike his other albums, this one will be a joint project with none other than Large Professor. Its title: Mega Philosophy. Due to this upcoming release, Mega’s making media rounds and in each interview, he’s letting everyone know the importance of working with the Xtra P. By the way, check out his response to the thought of a Firm reunion.
In response to featuring Raekwon, AZ, Redman as well as other underdogs, Cormega responded with:
I’m fighting for my genre and these guys are the champions at it. I’ve been on tour with these guys before and I respect all of them. You’re talking about the three of the dopest spitters. Two of them are all about spitting lyrics in their particular style. So that was symbolic for me to have them on my album. It was important for me to have Nature on my album too. People know our past. The beautiful thing about me and Nature is we showed growth. Today, nobody can ask me about Nature because me and him did a grown up thing and put our differences to the side. We did shows together and now we have a song together so that was important… Like, everyone on my album is a fighter. Usually people get features from big artists to sell their album, but everyone on my album is underrated.
When it came to working with Xtra P, “Not only have I been a fan of Large Professor forever, but when you get the chance to work with somebody great, you have to seize the opportunity. It’s like sports. If you’re an all-star, and another all-star wants to play with you and it turns out right – something magical happens. I was not going to turn down an opportunity to do an album with Large Professor. No matter what.”
And as far as a Firm reunion with Nas, Az, Foxy, and Nature, Cormega added, “I’m a businessman. I’m open to doing a reunion with anybody. You know how people in jail have a calendar on the wall waiting for freedom? I’m definitely not waiting for no calls from anybody. I’m moving forward.”
