“Echo” is the sixth track of the album “POISON” by the American rapper and producer Swizz Beatz, released on November 2, 2018.

It features another legendary artist of hip-hop: Nas. During the track he deals with several arguments: he celebrates the late ‘80s as the ideal scenario of his difficult adolescence in Queensbridge; he points out at his influence on new generations and he gives them a warning about the necessity of living life without the constant illusion of fame; finally, he takes aim at ISIS criminal organization by making us look how they have brought hysteria all over U.S.A. and Europe and they use religion as a mere excuse
to their cruel actions.

Moreover, the track is based on a sample of “Echoes on My Mind” by the funk group The New Birth (1974):

Curiously, the brief shout-out to the ‘80s included in this song can be connectable to the next song in “POISON”’s tracklist: Cold Blooded, where Pusha T speaks of his experiences in the streets during the '90s.
