How Nas and DJ Premier Got the Last Say

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.

Because Light-Years has not yet been released, the column can only imagine its contours. The album title invites reflection on time and distance. A light-year represents the distance light travels in one year—nearly six trillion miles. Observing a distant galaxy means seeing light that left the object long ago; by the time it reaches us, we are looking into its past. Similarly, listening to Light-Years will mean hearing verses and beats that originated years apart. The track you might love most could have been drafted during the mid-2000s or a pandemic session. The album will collapse time, inviting the older and newer Nas fans to perceive 1995, 2006, and 2025 at once. When Nas references a memory, or Premier scratches a vocal, their light will have traveled decades to arrive.

Interesting. So it seems like the album might be a mix of their near misses throughout the years in making this project happen.

Thats what Nas essentially said in his Rolling Stones interview.

He said they’d been kicking around ideas for years and 1-2 of those ideas that they never actually recorded made the album. So i’m guessing NY State of Mind Part 3 and 3rd Childhood were those ideas they went ahead and recorded.

The preview dont sound too great i dont have crazy high expectations for this like some ands it’s to do with Premo not Nas.

It’s been years since I’ve been wowed by a best he made, I hate to bring up Alchemist but an album with a producer not far off their prime made way more sense.
