Nas and Hit-Boy shared a special surprise for fans, dropping a new nine-track album, Magic. This marks Nas’s second new album of 2021, following the release of King’s Disease II in August, the follow-up to 2020’s King’s Disease. Nas wrote on Instagram prior to the album drop: “MAGIC is in the air. Midnight ET brand new music to vibe to.”
Magic’s nine new tracks include ‘Wave Gods’, a collaboration with A$AP Rocky and DJ Premier. Nas had previously spoken about making a third album with Hit-Boy, who he has referred to as his “Quincy Jones”, shortly after the release of King’s Disease II. That album has been nominated for Best Rap Album at the 2022 Grammy Awards, with “Bath Salts” also nominated for Best Rap Song. King’s Disease won Best Rap Album at this year’s edition of the prestigious music awards.
