Nas & DJ Premier- New Album Coming 2025 (Official Thread)

[Barney Rubble]

I'm not worried about the bars we get from Nas

I haven't felt Preemo beats since the early 2000s

You're not feeling these? I would be more than happy if Nas came out over beats of this caliber.

Idk if I really like these preemo lead albums anymore

last two are hard. but i agree with @Controversy. the pressure is on preme to deliver. nas already proved he still got it coming off that run with hit. and imo, magic 1 is the bar. anything below that production-wise will be a disappointment.

Nas chose to do the album with Primo at THIS point in his career for a reason. No label can dictate the sound/concept/tone of the album because Nas IS the label. They’ve got full creative control and its been at least two years they’ve been working on it.

My only hope at this point is that they tour together next year.

Hit-Boy set the bar pretty damn high with KD/Magic. Preme gotta put on the performance of a lifetime.

Pressure is on Preme because Nas just delivered lyrically on 6 albums in recent years.

 

[Crumple]

Sooooo many wealthy rappers could have done what Nas did with the legendary series.

Annnndd...

They didn't.

Too busy with hella dumb activities.

Nas chose to do this for hip hop culture.

He refreshed hip hop with HIS leadership!

That Mobb Deep album was a HARD move!

I love this!

Nas is great man. Very, very great!!!!!

Will be good to hear once released how long they’ve been working on it. Didn’t Nas hint in an interview about a secret album during KD1 or 2 and people assumed Premier? I think if this was a rushed album to be part of the Legend Has it releases it could disappoint but think this has been given a lot of time and effort.

Also I really hope Nas and Premier do some podcasts/ interviews as sort of yeh roll out.

Statik selectah heard some songs back from last year. So it's not a rushed thing

I just need Preemo to use hi hats on a few songs and I'm good. I know he's trying to make a point, but I need the structure. I wish he'd link up with Eddie Sancho again, but that doesn't seem like it's going to happen.

I recently ran into this song by accident, and it's one of my fav new Premier beats:
