It's undeniable. I may not fukk with the album but Nas' contributions ALL year have pushed the genre forward in a way I haven't seen a rapper do in a long ass time.

Surprised they haven't played something off the album during these NBA games. They use to play a lot from the Hit-Boy run.

F*ck y'all for lying about this album by the way lol Welcome to the Underground is and his 2nd verse on that is why he's considered by some as the Goat.

Shine Together is stuck between a good song & bad song.

It’s missing something but I can’t put my finger on it, maybe an addition instrument to the beat.

Love the song & the beat, even though it differs completely away from Premier signature sound.

This is really a polarizing album because Shine together is my 2nd favorite song behind Nasty Esco Nasir.
