Nas is back with his latest release, Magic 2 — the sequel to 2021’s Magic.

The 11-track record clocks in at 30 minutes and is executive produced by Hit-Boy and Nas himself, with 50 Cent and 21 Savage appearing on the tracks “Office Hours” and “One Mic, One Gun,” respectively. Magic 2 picks up where 2022’s King’s Disease — its direct predecessor — left off, and hears Nas and Hit-Boy’s partnership at an elevated level. The rapper’s recent three-year run is a testament to his legacy and power, and Nas has proven that he is one of the few that have aged like fine wine.

Stream Nas Magic 2 on Spotify and Apple Music.
