Nas Offers a Revitalized Sound With New Album King's Disease
Stream the legendary rapper’s 13th studio album now.
Nas has dropped off his 13th full-length offering, King’s Disease.
Clocking in at 38 minutes, the 13-track LP follows 2018’s Nasir and hears production entirely handled by Hit-Boy. The esteemed New York rapper also enlists the help of Don Toliver and Big Sean for “Replace Me,” Charlie Wilson for “Car #85,” Lil Durk for “Til The War Is Won,” Anderson .Paak for “All Bad,” Brucie B. for “The Definition,” The Firm for “Full Circle” and Fivio Foreign and A$AP Ferg for the bonus cut “Spicy.”
This collaborative effort with Hit-Boy is a long time coming, with Nas explaining that he and the producer have been trying to link up for years. “We finally got that timing… that alignment,” he said in a teaser, and his words prove to be true as King’s Disease hears the rapper breathe new life into hip-hop. He’s a veteran — and a legendary one at that — but his ability to adapt and welcome the modern notions of rap is a challenge not everyone is capable of overcoming. Timing plays an important role in Nas’ creations, and it sounds like everything fell into place for King’s Disease.
