Nas and DJ Premier have revealed the tracklist for their long-awaited joint album Light-Years, and it’s guaranteed to stoke the excitement even more.
The hip-hop veterans took to social media on Monday (December 8) to give fans their first look at the eagerly anticipated project, which drops this Friday (December 12) via Mass Appeal Records.
Light-Years clocks in at 15 songs and includes sequels to some of Nas and Premo’s most iconic tracks, adding to their legacy as one of the greatest rapper-producer duos of all time.
“N.Y. State of Mind Pt. 3” serves as the third installment in their gritty, Rotten Apple-centric series which began on Illmatic and continued on I Am…, while “3rd Childhood” is the follow-up to “2nd Childhood,” a storytelling-driven standout from Stillmatic.
