Albums Nas & DJ Premier - Light-Years (December 12th)

[ADP]

As far as the beats for NYSOM and Childhood what do people want ? Remixes of OGs or completly new ?

Id like a variation of the same sample for NYSOM3 but fresh and new for Childhood

At least there was no pressure on AZ to come up with a verse...

Wonder about the length of the tracks, old school three verses 3 4 minutes or stream wave 2.5 minutes ?

Anyway, im sleeping with a bib on until the 12th just in case...

Nas and AZ need to end their joint by teasing a collab album. shyt, he made the Preme album come true, why not make all our dreams come true

 

[Morose Polymath]

damn, we gettin a NY State Of Mind Pt. 3

[Ziggiy]

I remember the last solo he did where AZ was the only guest appearance.

If i’m not mistaken, the outcome was he was crowned the best lyricist.

 

[REAL6]

Then Nas fans who said AZ is disloyal for not choosing Nas over Jay on Drink Champs right now

damn, we gettin a NY State Of Mind Pt. 3

Part 2 is a Top 10 Nas song for me

Mommy should've cuffed me to the radiator, why not
It might have saved me later from my block

Sons will be the counterpart to Daughters.

[T.he I.nformant]

Ngl shyt classic based off the tracklist

 

[Wepa Man]

 

[PIFF101]

That tracklist

Of course i’m hyped for every song but for some reason the following are sticking out to me.

Pause Tapes- I have a feeling Nas about to go STUPID lyrical on this track. Like how back in the day when we had cassette tapes and i’d hear a Nas, Ghostface, Biggie verse that went so hard you had to pause the tape right quick and run it back.


Writers- Intriguing title. Wondering conceptually where he’ll go with it.

Nasty Esco Nasir- The combination of the Nas personas. I’m expecting greatness from this track

Sons (Young Kings) Is this where he passes the torch to the new generation of New York rappers? Rome Streets? Conway? Stove God?


I can’t WAIT

Damn my brain read/linked Pause Tapes with Lost Tapes, but that shyt you mentioned would be crazy. Imagine some sort of Book of Rhymes but with Primo 90s beats/tapes

Mass Appeal spent 2025 reminding the world why New York rap still matters. Ending the series with Light‑Years is their way of saying: the people who built the era get to tell you what it meant.
