The NY Times ran a profile piece on Frank Ocean yesterday titled Creating His Own Gravity. The piece was revolved around the crazy year the OFWGKTA artist is having. Towards the end however the author, Jon Caramanica, uncovered a lost collaboration between Frank and label mate, Nas.
Below is the excerpt from the full story which is available here.

There was also a collaboration with Nas, “No Such Thing as White Jesus,” that was unfortunately lost to a technological mishap. Mr. Ocean expressed regret that album deadlines prevented him from recreating the song from scratch, and he broke into song to capture what was lost:
Whatever you do, young king, don’t wind up dead
Young queen, cross your legs,
Put a crown on your head and remove the chains
’Cause even diamond chains are for slaves,
Don’t set foot in no penitentiary
And don’t taste the poison
Don’t you bail on your families
