50 Cent has ramped up the excitement for his feature on Nas’ new album Magic 2, which is dropping later this week.

50 took to Instagram on Tuesday (July 18) to confirm that he and the legendary Queensbridge lyricist will be colliding on the project, which is set to arrive on Friday (July 21).

“Yal ain’t herd me in minute, @nas felt like it was time so it’s done. Check us out Friday 7.21 MAGIC 2 (Office Hours) QGTM Boom,” he wrote in his caption underneath the Magic 2 cover art, which depicts a young Nas morphing into his modern-day self.

Nas also shared the news on Instagram, along with Hit-Boy, who appears to be reprising his production duties after scoring the first Magic LP in 2021, along with all three of Esco’s King’s Disease projects.

News of Nas and 50 Cent reuniting on wax was first revealed in February, with Billboard reporting that the G-Unit boss was set to make a rare appearance on what they believed was King’s Disease 4.

The Queens legends last linked up musically in 2002 when they both were signed to Columbia Records, joining forces for “Too Hot” and “Who U Rep With” off 50’s Guess Who’s Back? mixtape.

The pair briefly clashed in 2005 when 50 mocked Nas on “Piggy Bank” for getting a tattoo of his now-ex-wife Kelis (“Kelis said her milkshake bring all the boys to the yard/ Then Nas went and tattooed the bitch on his arm.”)

However, any lingering tension was diffused in 2014 when the pair shared the stage at Hot 97’s Summer Jam.

50 later gave Nas his flowers during an interview with Hot 97 last year, saying: “I love Nas. He’s really the one. He is the guy, the lyrical — we was figuring out how to do it.”
