Nas and Ms. Lauryn Hill are getting the band back together.
25 years after the release of their hit collaboration, “If I Ruled The World,” the duo is reuniting for “Nobody,” a track off the upcoming Nas album, King’s Disease II. The reveal arrived on the newly-released tracklist for the sequel to the Queensbridge rapper’s Grammy-winning 2020 album, which was announced just last week. Ms. Hill is featured on a prestigious roster for the King’s Disease follow-up. Shared in an Instagram post this morning (see below,) also includes appearances from Eminem, EPMD, YG, Charlie Wilson, BLXST, and Hit-Boy, who once again serves as executive producer on the album along with Nas.
The King’s Disease II announcement landed at the end of a month in which multiple rarities from the rapper’s catalog have resurfaced. As a part of the It Was Written rerelease, Nas retouched a nearly 30-year-old freestyle with a little help from Freddie Gibbs and Cordae. Another track, “Real N***s,” was uploaded to Youtube a few weeks back, providing a glimpse at a short-lived feud with Tupac, who, in the last few years of his life, was sending shots at damn-near every rapper of import.
