Among the tracks that'll be released on Amy Winehouse's posthumous Dec. 6 album Lioness: Hidden Treasures is her sorrowful Nas duet, "Like Smoke," which was recorded in 2008 and premiered this Wednesday on New York City's Hot 97. It's known Winehouse wanted to collaborate with Nas (as in Nasir Jones, as in "Me And Mr. Jones") for years, but reports are conflicting on whether he recorded his lines for the duet before or after Winehouse died this year. Certainly the verse about "occupying Wall Street" sounds like a recent addition (or maybe Nas is short for Nastrodamus?). In any case, the finished product is smooth no matter the recording process as well as very, very sad. We've got the track below and his and her excerpts below that. Strange fact: Winehouse and Nas also share a birthday.

Winehouse:
I never wanted you to be my man
I just need your company.
