Nas has released the tracklisting of his final album with Hit-Boy and it has only one guest contributor, albeit a highly notable one: Lil Wayne.
Magic 3 will be the conclusive installment of the duo’s six-album, two-trilogy run that earned them two Grammy nominations and one win for Best Rap Album in 2021.
The LP is set to drop on Friday (September 15) — a day after the Queens rapper turns 50 — and is made up of 15 songs, among which is a cut titled “Never Die.” This will mark Nas and Wayne’s third crossover, and the first time only the two of them will rap on a record together.
Check out the full tracklist below:
The two Hip Hop veterans first joined forces on Nas and Damian Marley’s 2010 album, Distant Relatives, which hosted the Young Money mogul and Joss Stone on the song, “My Generation.”
The following year, the Mass Appeal co-founder appeared on the “Outro” of Tunechi’s Tha Carter IV alongside Bun B, Busta Rhymes and Shyne.
In 2016, during a conversation with REVOLT’s Andre Harrell, the East Coast MC discussed the modern state of Hip Hop and even revealed his favorite artists of the genre at the time: Drake, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Rick Ross and, of course, Lil Wayne.
Nas and Wayne’s admiration for one another goes way back. To have them collaborate once again is a treat to Hip Hop enthusiasts, especially since it will be a part of the 50-year-old New Yorker’s last hurrah in laying one of his more prolific phases to rest.
Wheras the King’s Disease trilogy by Nas and Hit-Boy was promoted a fair amount around each drop, the Magic series has been subtle and released on short notice. So far, the first two parts have featured cameos from A$AP Rocky, DJ Premier, 50 Cent and 21 Savage.
Jay Z is scrambling
Jay-Z’s not relevant in Nas’s world. He hasn’t dropped nothing since 2017. Let it go.
Jay z is taking time to craft his next masterpiece. He would be struggling if he put out an album every month like nas is doing
He hasn’t had a “masterpiece:” since Blueprint. Black album was a solid release, everything else after that has been ok to meh.His hype will sell more albums than the quality of his work will. Can he make another “great” album?Possibly but i doubt it. He has run out of things to say IMO. the things he still may have to say, I probably wouldn’t be interested in. Nas is GOAT.
You can argue KD3 is better than BluePrint or Black Album which is absolutely insane when you think about it. 911 cruising down PCH at midnight tonight riding out to Magic 3. I’m expecting nothing less than Greatness
Definitely not better than the Blueprint. Black album was mid
They were actually both in the Ghetto Rich Remix as well as the Don’t Touch Me Remix in 2008 so My Generation was the 3rd time they linked up
I’m sad to see Wayne on there….Lil Wayne is terrible. Nas is too nice….Inviting all these garbage rappers to be on his albums. 50 Cent ruined the last one, now Wayne is going to ruin this one. smh
That’s your opinion. You’re entitled to it. I’m not a Wayne fan AT ALL, but I would never pretend like I think he sucks. I’m looking forward to seeing what they came up with. And I like 50 Cent’s verse on the last joint. We all have our opinions.
@ Listener A, agreed. I hope Wayne is on the guitar for the album, he shreds. His rock album is up there with legends like Jimi Hendrix and Slash from Guns N Rose’s.
50 must have asked for a heavy bag to only deliver a few bars. It’s too bad. That would e been an amazing QB experience but wtf happened??? 50 don’t got it no more. Glad he has his shows to fall back on tho. And 50 got moobs (man boobs). Get tits or bras flying. He IS the piggy bank. Window shopping outside a fast food restaurant.
Why does Nas keep releasing this albums with the same producer? It might have worked for the first 3 albums, but six is just too much; The shtick has run its course. None of his albums has debuted lower than a top ten aside from KD3. He should instead take time and a craft a great album instead of oversaturating the market

The authur missed out on the best Nas And Wayne feature, “Ghetto Remix” by Rich Boy ft. Lil’ Wayne, Nas, and John Legend. Classic to death.

Man it’s time for nas/hit Boi to chill..shit sounds da same plus what does jay z have to do with dis….hov..living rent free..lol…
Thx for deleting my comment. Now you can jerk it to your non-existent journalist skills. Nas won’t be any better for this. A mediocre, arrogant shithead with the luck of working with some great artists on the rise of his career.
