Fresh off a busy 2008, Nas is set to take 2009 by storm with a scheduled appearance on Dr. Dre's long awaited CD, Detox.

The Queens MC who usually keeps a low profile between albums is talking openly about his affinity for working with one of music's best producers.

"I did a joint. I think it's crazy," Nas says of working with Dre. "He's someone I'd love to do a whole album with one day. He's incredible. I think he's the best producer of all time."

With guest spots on projects from Keyshia Cole, DJ Khaled, The Game and Young Jeezy, over the past year, Nas promises that his Detox collaboration will be history."

Nas is up for two Grammys at the February 8 ceremony in Los Angeles, including best rap album for his latest effort, Untitled.

"Whether I win or lose, I'm happy hip-hop made it that far."
