Get set for a musical treat as Nas and DJ Premier took to social media to unveil the tracklist of their joint album ‘Light-Years.’ This revelation has ramped up excitement for what’s promised to be a landmark release in hip-hop.
‘Light-Years’ consists of 15 tracks that not only highlight iconic talent but also delve deeper into Nas and DJ Premier’s discography. Fans will be thrilled to hear continuations of series like ‘N.Y. State of Mind’ and ‘3rd Childhood’ among others.
Nas’s long-time collaborator AZ adds an exclusive touch with the sole guest feature on ‘My Story Your Story.’ AZ, known for his spectacular debut on ‘Life’s a Bitch,’ adds depth to this album, rekindling memories of past collaborations within The Firm.
Intriguingly, the much-hyped lead single ‘Define My Name’ is omitted from the tracklist, yet fans are encouraged to keep it in their playlist for that classic Esco and Premo vibe. The album teases some older unreleased gems in its line-up too.
In a chat with Rolling Stone, Nas hinted at a couple of unreleased tracks from two decades ago finally making their way into ‘Light-Years.’ For Nas and DJ Premier, this album is a dream project long overdue but finally seeing the light of day.
‘Legend Has It…’ series is set to close with ‘Light-Years’ as its seventh installment, marking a significant chapter in hip-hop history after notable releases from Slick Rick, Ghostface Killah, and more. Nas reminisces about the timeless feel of 1995, hopeful to revive the same spirit.
The duo’s collaboration is much more than music; it symbolizes a celebration of life, urging a return to the essence of hip-hop. Fans are offered an audio journey that brings together decades of hip-hop culture and craftsmanship.
‘Light-Years’ promises to be both a nod to hip-hop’s past and a thrilling journey into new musical landscapes.
