King’s Disease is out 8/21 via Mass Appeal.

I was like, ‘Yo, I got this thing I got to do, you know…’ We got the work done, but man, it was the craziest day of my life: That session, going from there to The Price Is Right… it was amazing.”Ĭheck out the King’s Disease art and tracklist below. I didn’t want to tell them I had to go to The Price Is Right. Dre and Kanye West right before, and I had to leave that session early to get to The Price Is Right. Paak had to leave early back in December.Paak told James Corden on a recent Late Late Show, “The only thing is I had a session with Dr. Paak-featuring “All Bad” could have perhaps been one of the results of a studio session that. Paak, Big Sean, Charlie Wilson, Hit-Boy, Don Toliver, Lil Durk, Brucie B., The Firm, Fivio Foreign, and ASAP Ferg. The project runs for a concise 13 tracks and features assists from Anderson. After his surprise announcement last week, the rap icon has revealed the tracklist for his new album King’s Disease II.Executive produced by Hit-Boy, the 15-track set. Today, the legendary rapper has shared the tracklist for his upcoming thirteenth album. Hopefully his beat selection maintains this quality going forward as that is indeed the only variable for an emcee as automatic as Nas.Nas started teasing his new album, King’s Disease, last week with the release of his Doja Cat-dissing “ Ultra Black,” and now he has unveiled more info. But overall, Life Is Good is a poignant statement even though Nas is rich, famous, and pushing 40, he not only recalls his roots, but still has relateable issues with which to connect to his fan-base (most notably his divorce with Kelis, whose wedding dress adorns the album's cover). A Queen’s Story (Produced by Salaam Remi) 4. No Introduction (Produced by Justice League) 2. Nas has unveiled the star-studded tracklist for his forthcoming LP, ‘King’s Disease II,’ which includes features from Eminem and more. The only blemish to an otherwise solid track list comes with Swizz Beatz-produced "Summer on Smash", a club track that tries so hard to be catchy but stumbles and falls short (not surprising with Swizz Beatz who has really done nothing of merit lately). Album: Nas Life Is Good (Tracklist) Voila la tant attendue tracklist de l’album de Nas qui sort le 17 juillet Nas Life Is Good Tracklist: 1. Comeback single "Nasty" is an all-out brag rap attack that would not have been out of place on Illmatic. On "Loco-Motive" he raps about pizza burning his mouth - a lesser rapper would struggle making this interesting and coherent, but Nas somehow excels. In terms of flow and literary/ poetic devices, his skill is unparalleled, at a minimum on that same higher level as Raekwon and DOOM. While his lyrics may not make complete sense and can be hypocritical at times, Nas is on top of his game with Life Is Good. Album highlight "Reach Out" takes an 80s approach on the beats, but the track would feel at home just as well on a Fugees record (albeit with Mary J Blige on vocals instead). The improvement is obvious on tracks like "Loco-Motive" that find revitalized spitfire rhyming over a gritty beat, truly emulating the experience of a late night train robbery. features from Rick Ross, Anthony Hamilton, Amy Winehouse and more. handles primary duties, instilling a sense of quality control that wasn't really present throughout 2008's Nigg er. Nas releases the official Life Is Good album tracklist. Veteran beatsmith (and VP of Def Jam) No I.D. And thanks to Kanye, we now know its tracklist. Justice League-produced "No Introduction" immediately demands attention with a sweeping orchestration and a drum heavy breakdown, shining an evident spotlight and introducing Nas better than any extraneous skit could. Nas' long-awaited new album is due to drop this Friday.Most details are still locked away, though we know Kanye West produced it. Life Is Good fits in as a retrospective piece in the same vein, yet with more impressive production that takes cues from 80s pop almost as much as the Golden Age. While not necessarily redefining or essential listening (except probably The Lost Tapes), each following album has followed this model of using simple beats as a vessel for Nas's nearly unsurpassed lyricism. 2001's Stillmatic was not only retaliation to Jay-Z's classic "Takeover" observational diss on this drop-off, but also succeeded in resuscitating his dying career. To his dedicated acolytes it's no secret the time frame between genre classic Illmatic and the turn of the millennium was not good to Nas, either in terms of quality or record sales. Review Summary: A notable continuation of a late career resurgenceĬontrary to popular critical assessment, Life Is Good is in no way some triumphant return to form for Nas it is merely a continuation of his latter career success story in a consistent sequence of solid records.
