Nas - King's Disease III (Discussion Thread)

[TheDarceKnight]

Why are we so programmed in our minds that every hip hop album has to have FEATURES??? There are countless artist outside the genre that drop albums without ONE guest appearance. If you looking for a compilation cop the DJ Khaled albums, cuz otherwise the GOAT himself is one of the few hip hop artist that can carry an album on his own.

I'm honestly happy with no features. Nas can carry it. Boldy James and Nas are both having my two favorite runs of the past 2 years. Boldy's had 2 features in total on his last two projects, and Nas only had one feature on Magic, right?

I like it. If you're strong enough to carry an album on your own, why not?

curious of the soundscape of this album. What did Hit cook up. I’m anticipating the DOC cause I want see how these guys work so well. It’s uncanny And something nobody could predict.

Wouldn’t surprise me fact there’s no features is because these two just lock in together in studio just churning out tracks and just in that zone

The fact Magic songs were intended for KD3 and they decided fukk it let’s just put out a album now of these joints. They must have felt they either had other songs even better or more energy/ drive to keep going and to top what they did that went on Magic

Since 2020?

He’s been on albums from Statik Selectah, DJ Khaled, Alina Baraz, Jhene Aiko, DMX (twice) Berner, Belly, YG, and Snoop Dogg.

The one Collab I was hoping for was nasxjoey. That joint on statiks album is still in rotation but can't complain. Everyone memeing about jcole w no features but this shyt about to be insane

I’m so set for no features. Nas always shined on his own. LT >>>>>

Personally....KD3 is shaping up the same way KD2 did for me.

A lot of personal experiences happened for me when KD2 dropped, those moments I'll never forget.

Family, friend, Wakanda Forever and KD3. This album couldn't have dropped at a better time.

I don't think people realize how exceptional it is to drop an album with no features with just an MC and a producer. Friday can't get here soon enough.

Is this speculation?

Lately features are announced after the tracklist to maintain some element of surprise before the project’s formal release.

Wonder if Thun got a Prodigy verse

The dude that leaked the tracklist on reddit said there zero features. We have no reason not to believe him

The dude Nima Nasseri (runs with Hitboy. I think he's an exec at SurfClub) says on Instagram: "track by track just looking at this completely unbiased...this might be one of the greatest albums of all time". The comment was "liked" by DoublesWorld.

Think we get the official cover tomorrow?

 

[Stick Up Kid]

People want features rather then a 17 track album with nothing but Nas verses?
