Nas and Rick Ross team up to lay down “It’s A Tower Heist,” a song from the upcoming Brett Ratner movie Tower Heist, starring Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy. The two combine for a video for the song, which was just released.

We haven’t seen one of these types of videos in a while. This used to be how many videos were done. Songs from movie soundtracks would intersperse the artists with clips from the movie the song appears in, in effect making the video an advertisement for both artist(s) and movie. This current collaborative effort finds Nasir and Rozay rocking over a Salaam Remi-produced track, with limited in-studio footage of each rapper doing their respective thing and clips from Tower Heist visually mingling together throughout.

Tower Heist hits theaters on November 4, and judging by the trailers and the beginning of an offline buzz, seems like it may do well. More importantly, Tower Heist could serve as a boost for Eddie Murphy’s non-children-movie-voice-over-family-film career, and bring him back into the general feature film spotlight. Between this and his hosting of the Oscars, we will be seeing a lot of of Murphy in the coming weeks.

Check out the video for Nas and Rick Ross’ collaboration below, as well as the full Tower Heist trailer, in case you hadn’t caught it yet.
