ESPN basically playing the whole album what kind of bread does the artist and producer get for something like that?

Could this be related to the fact that Steve Stoute's United Masters have a partnership with NBA, Nas is his bro and now that Nas is somewhat independent, a helping hand?

Possibly but NBA on ESPN has been playing Nas joints in and out of commercials for years and during recap breakdowns (Playing Halftime at halftime, Hate me Now, If i rule the world etc as well other 90s er hip hop dudes). But the fact they definetly pushing this particular album might be because of that

Naw ESPN has been playing Nas songs and their writers have been quoting Nas lyrics in their articles for YEARS. He got a similar push when Life Is Good released.

I knew this shyt would start entering more of yall's Top 5's first time I heard it. I knew it had legs and was super duper replayable and all that...I think you're gonna see the album back on the charts soon too, he got madd singles on there.

Damn 2020 weird for real, I have a homie who never could get into NaS, like at all, I told him play the cure and he text me this morning saying he had to run it back 4x lol

timing is everything. people can catch shyt at different times that they wouldn't otherwise. Nas has a great timing right about now...
