Nas has dropped his new album, King’s Disease II. The highlight of the album is a verse of Lauryn Hill.
Nas is back.

The rapper has released his 13th solo studio album, King’s Disease II. The album is a sequel to Nas’ 2020 Grammy award-winning album. Once again he is reunited with Hit-Boy, who executive produced the entire album (as well as all of the tracks.) The album features Nas embracing his status as one of rap’s elder statesman. He has features from the likes of A Boogie wit da Hoodie, YG, and Blxt. But, for the most part, he doesn’t chase a lot of current trends. Rather, he is doing songs with legends. “EPMD 2” is an electrifying posse cut with EPMD and Eminem. Em is spazzing here, rapping:

“I just pray for the day when I’m able to say that I’m placed with the greats
And my name’s with the Kane’s, and the Wayne’s, and the Jay’s
And the Dre’s, and the Ye’s, and the Drake’s
And the J Dilla’s, Jada’s, Cool J’s, and the Ra’s
And amazin’ as Nas is, and praise to the Gods of this
Shout to the golden age of hip-hop and the name of this song is”
