Mass Appeal Nas - King's Disease II Vinyl 2LP
Description
If the first King's Disease project was Nas reveling in the legacy he'd sown over three-plus decades in the game, its sequel arriving just short of a year later is the legendary MC settling that much further into what he thinks great rap should sound like in 2021. In this case, that's another full-length project co-executive-produced by celebrated Fontana, California-hailing beatsmith Hit-Boy, this time featuring a handful of eyebrow-raising moments like the pairing of hip-hop legends EPMD and Eminem ( EPMD 2 ), a revisitation of the static and eventual reconciliation he shared with 2Pac ( Death Row East ), and a brand-new rap verse from the illustrious Ms. Lauryn Hill ( Nobody ). Not unlike its predecessor, King's Disease II features a small handful of guests, something Nas saw fit to acknowledge in rhyme on Moments : My whole career I steered away from features/ But I figured it's perfect timing to embrace the leaders. While that first statement is a bit of revisionist history, we won't pretend that sharing airspace with the don hasn't always been and isn't still something of an honor, one he's chosen to bestow here upon A Boogie wit da Hoodie, YG, and Hit-Boy. He contextualizes this particularly well toward that same song's end, reminding us of his impact when he cites moments you can't relive/ Like your first time bugging from something that Nas said.
