The fam at Okayplayer got this exclusive clip of K'naan and Nas on the video set for their joint track "Nothing To Lose," in OKP's words:

Straight from the set of a shoot for the forthcoming video for their collaboration “Nothing to Lose,” distant relatives NaS and K’naan chop it up on who linked them up (three guesses and the first two Marleys don’t count) how they subsequently came to work together and on building a Pan-African bridge across the gulf between Queensbridge and Somalia.
