Wait..wait..is this his 1st album on Mass Appeal solely?
No more Def Jam?


Yes.


His deal with Def Jam called for four albums. Two in which the marketing and production were split between Def Jam an Sony (Hip Hop Is Dead and Untitled) and two which were solely under Def Jam (Life Is Good and Nasir)

In between that he did Distant Relatives, which dropped via Universal and didn’t count towards his album deal with Def Jam. Lost Tapes 2 was a one off Def Jam/Mass Appeal co-release as all the songs were from Def Jam album sessions.


Mass Appeal is now distributed through Universal (not Sony as I previously stated) so this next album should be fully under Mass Appeal, which Nas co-owns

Man the hype is real for this album, that Firm track is gonna be crazy.

That Firm album barely even had the whole group together on more than a couple tracks. Would love an album with them all on at least 80% of all songs.

That double red vinyl is crazy dope. He's got my money.
