Queensbridge Hip Hop legend Nas has revealed that his fans will have a new Esco record to bump before the year is out.
In an interview with Billboard, Nas confirmed that he’s wrapping up his 12th album in his Empire State Building recording studio.
As for the new record, details were sparse. While Nas answered “for sure” when asked if the album would see a 2017 release, he added the caveat that “it’s not done until it hits the streets,” and that we won’t have an album title until the release date.
Nas remained coy on how the promo leading up to the album is going to go, saying that before the album drops “We might do a single or we might do something different.”
CEO of media company Mass Appeal Peter Bittenbender also detailed a project documenting Nas’ Illmatic anniversary performance with the National Symphony Orchestra that was recorded three years ago.
“We don’t know when to put it out but we had to capture this moment,” he said. “Recently, we brought it back and they mixed the full Illmatic with the orchestra guy back in the studio. That was the first project [we worked on here]. We had to make sure whatever project we touched first came from Nas obviously.”
A new song from Nas called “Angel Dust” premiered on The Get Down II recently. Listen to it here.
Hurry up already damn
Why you deleting my comments for? Somehairle must be a broke Nas stan still mad that King HOV killed him.
Still mad Jay got destroyed? lol
Hmm, facts vs childish insults? I’ll take facts, please. King HOV won. Who signed under who again in 2006? Tell me.
There were plenty of facts on Ether my man
How is Ether not factually? It’s just as factually, if not more so than Takeover. A lot of the facts and connections Nas made in Ether flew over peoples head. Ether was a master class in building a world to show the fallacy of Jay Z, where jay Z just says stuff. Why did you think Jay Z took Ether so personally and rushed that wackass Super Ugly out?
I used to think that you were a troll, but now I see you’re an overly obsessive psychopath. God damn, seek some mental help.
I’m obsessive about putting the truth out and for banging your mom every night.
I was always thought your were into dudes. You writing about sucking off “King HOV’s” dick and how he has lucious lips and that we wouldn’t understand that its not gay to have these feelings towards “King HOV” because we are all broke Nas Stans.
I’m actually starting to just not care anymore. My man is taking too long.
Hopefully NAS album becomes a classic that all the garbage mumble rap finally becomes deceased where there is no longer any fetty wap, yatchy, uzy homos allowed to have a career. Please NAS don’t collaborate with any of those queers nor their producers. Stick with the dj premier, large professor, pete rock, qtip and finally collaborate with 9th wonder and madlib
Nas aint dropping no damn album. This dude has said that every year since 2012. lol
Damn son, why it gotta be like that?
you ever heard Life is Good?
Nas BROKE he foreclosed on a 3 BEDROOM house in Atlanta . 3 Bedrooms man Nas a joke . #NasBroke #GoogleIt
Thank! You!
Nope try again lames how he broke when he just dropped 3 million at once on taxes in december??? Go back to kissin ya cuzin fuuckin weirdos and how accurate u really think google is i bet if i googled ya mom she broke to givin top for ☺ meal ?
you know he owns a capital investment company and has partially owns Dropbox, Lyft, and various companies, right? also he owns Mass Appeal Records and has many businesses across the U.S. those are facts. oh yeah that’s right. you know how to Google right, Apaarently you would have known if those companies go public, he would be a billionaire instantly or he is an venture capitalist who invested in various businesses….and he’s worth over 50 million by the way. but you would have known that if you Googled it like you said you do
praying its for real this time..
Escobar season has return
Honestly I haven’t liked anything he’s done since Gods Son. He was great in the ’90s because he fit in that era, now lyricism has evolved beyond what he brings and it isn’t interesting anymore.
speak for yourself, you’re probably 1 out of millions of people that has that opinion
Ha ha…”lyricism has evolved”…you mean Devolved.
You trippin cuzzy,you one of them hold a pencil with your whole hand mumble rap listening negus aintcha?
listen to Nas Album Done – DJ Khaled
flame
CAN’T WAIT! It’s been too long. I want to hear where he’s at right now. Life Is Good was 4 years ago.
Life is Good was 5 years ago, not 4 years ago.
His new song is garbage. He might be well past his prime.
This is starting to become Detox all over again.
Not saying we wont get another Nas album, but it will probably be in 2027 and the working title will be changed to Queensbridge, and until then we’ll get a report once a year that the album is coming out soon.
Lyrcism is an imporyant ingredient in hip hop and nas is one of the few rappers that has remaoned relevantrelevantsince the 90s. Mumble rap is wack. We mcs on the mic like juelz santanta’nas,dmx,jay z,rakim and jadakiss’styles p and sheik
