While the anticipation builds for another all-star duet — the Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber collaboration “I Don’t Care” — that drops Friday night, there’s another new joint that we really care about.

That would be “Thriving” — a union of New York hip-hop royalty Mary J. Blige and Nas — which was released Wednesday. And we’ve had it on repeat ever since.

The thumping, hands-in-the-air anthem recalls the feel-good vibe of “Love Is All We Need,” the 1997 jam with the Yonkers-born Queen of Hip-Hop Soul and the Queens-bred rap king.

“No, we’re not just surviving/Yeah, we’re thriving over here/All those sad songs don’t break me/Just gave me a record deal,” sings Blige in the uplifting chorus.

Indeed, there is no more drama in this song, only pumping positivity in the vein of MJB classics “Be Happy” and “Just Fine.”

Nas comes out swinging in his verse, even comparing himself to Muhammad Ali. Bobbing and weaving around the beat, he spits, “Stop the hate/And love your life, fix your crown up straight/I dodged bullets and jail time and kept drivin’/Stood tall through it all, keep thriving.”

In addition to “Love Is All We Need,” Blige and Nas have previously collaborated on tracks such as “Reach Out,” from his 2012 album “Life Is Good,” and “Feel Inside,” from her 2011 LP “My Life II… The Journey Continues (Act I).”

Blige and Nas — who made their debuts with the ’90s classics “What’s the 411?” and “Illmatic,” respectively — will be combining their crowns during this summer’s “The Royalty Tour,” although New York dates have yet to be announced.

Until then, we’ll just keep rocking “Thriving.”
