Nas Locks In With Hit-Boy With New ‘Magic’ Project, Twitter Is In Awe
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Andrew Lichtenstein / Getty Nas is one of a handful of Hip-Hop artists who has nothing to prove to anyone and has classics in his discography to prove it. The Queensbridge living legend ends 2021 on an extremely high note alongside his cohort Hit-Boy with a new project Magic, a fitting name for a potent body of work. With an album of the year contender in King’s Disease II releasing earlier this year, the artist born Nasir Jones could’ve rested until next year but it’s apparent he and Hit-Boy have a fantastic working relationship. Magic counts as Nas’ 15th album and, without any hyperbole, it’s fair to say that this is one of the year’s best releases across all genres. Save for the entertaining “Wave Gods” featuring A$AP Rocky and DJ Premier, Nas ca...
