There had been rumors that Nas was working on new music and will announce something very soon.
Today, we have the official news: the legendary rapper will release his new album King’s Disease 2 on August 6th, reports NME. It will serve as the follow up to the Hit-Boy produced original that released last year and won Best Rap Album at the 2021 GRAMMYs, Nas’ first ever trophy at the awards.
The artwork has also been unveiled which you can see below. There is no word yet on whether Hit-Boy is also handling production this time around but we’re pretty excited regardless.
Last week, an unreleased Nas song surfaced where he was dissing Tupac. Last month, he celebrated 25 years of his classic album It Was Written by releasing a deluxe edition featuring unreleased songs. The rapper also recently remade his 1993 track ‘Life Is Like A Dice Game’ with help from Cordae and Freddie Gibbs.
