What would the reaction be if Nas announced 5 more albums with Premier?


If he and Premo build off what they did with Light-Years and make a creative/lyrical leap with every project like he and Hit-Boy did, it would be truly incredible.

I think Light-Years is a one-off though, something Nas and Preme did for the core fans who’ve been begging/demanding it for the last twenty years.

Seems like Nas might be in his “fan-service” era. From the Budden interview it really looks like Nas does indeed want to do the EP/Album with AZ, they’ve just got to lock in and make it happen.

If we’re manifesting dream Nas projects i’d LOVE for Nas and Q-Tip to lock in for an album. Tip gave LL FIRE on The Force. I’d also like a Distant Relatives sequel.

u nikkaz really think yall love nas more than nikkaz from queens is crazy

this nikka got the boro rockin RN

and nystom 3 is fiiiiire. the clash of the hook and beat create a strange sense of brevity

its like whipped topping on something with dense crust


I think it would help if artists and producers explain what they were going for but i understand why they dont feel the need to but i like your take on it.

Its like the white version of NY with the billy joel hook then Nas comes in and gives u the real gritty NY that he experienced so that abrupt crashing off the beat is like steam going through a frozen pipe

Yeah I think its more likely he does another full project with a different great producer or a project with AZ, maybe even The Firm.

But yeah if he did continue with Premier it would be interesting to see what direction it could go in. Nas and Hit-Boy's run had its peaks and valleys. Light Years (imo) is already better than all but 2 of those albums.

Man I think Magic, KD2, KD3, and Magic 3 are all 4.5-5 mic albums. I can’t pick whats the best out of them.

If you scan the QR code on the Day One vinyl and CDs, it takes you to a video of Nas and Preme thanking you for the purchase, and at one point Preme says "more is coming", so I wouldn't be surprised if we get another album or two out of this.
