Review from Shifter Magazine
No score but HIGHLY FAVORABLE write up
“Nas paints with his words, breaking things down poetically for the fan who’s listening with both their mind and ears. His taste for poetics is most evident on “Beef”. Nas gets in his personification bag in a way only he can. Like his 90s classics “I Gave You Power” and “Last Words” where he speaks from the perspective of a gun and a jail cell, Nas again embodies the inanimate by bringing life to a concept every rap figure is familiar with: “Beef”.
Calling out how nonsensical beef can be, Nas takes possession of its notion. With masterful use of metaphors, Nas helps us realize that beef can be our own self-inflicted stumbling block, and worse yet, a deterrent in the progress of the Black community––a dilemma that is alluded to throughout the album.”

Nas deserves to win best hip-hop album in every year since he dropped KD1 but won one. He should have won Magic, KD2, now this KD3.

“As much as I want to bow the f**k down to Nas, the biggest kudos in the world have to go to Hit-Boy. I literally think that the beats he hooked Nas up with were amazing. The way he was able to channel different eras, different tones, different gears, and different coasts throughout the album blew me away. Aside from that, I feel like the beats are multi-layered, intricate, and powerful as hell.”

Nas - King's Disease III (Album Review)
Not too many third installments of s**t are good. I can confidently say that King's Disease III is the best part three of anything that I've ever heard or seen (It's definitely better than Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III).

@ the boldedMy little girl was born in September so that hit me extra
But breh, check this out. Do the math. Born in September, I conceived my daughter on Christmas Eve/Christmas after Magic came out. Played the shyt out of it motivated for the rest of the holidays, after the pregnancy stick turned positive in January, and all year grinding getting ready for the baby.
My daughter has been a joy to me and my wife and she turned 2 months yesterday. I stayed up, listened to the album at midnight, heard the line you mentioned and lines about going to your daughter’s graduation and kids being born and brother it has just been
I will never forget how these past couple of albums have time stamped and shaped my life. And this journey started when I first saw the video for If I Ruled the World in 5th grade.
The journey has just been
Life is good

Review from Underground Hip Hop Blog
9/10
“Earlier on in the review I mentioned the fact that some people don’t like working with Nas & Hit-Boy, but I genuinely don’t understand how anyone can dislike King’s Disease III because it’s the best of the 4 albums that they’ve done so far. The production is more versatile in sound & God’s Son is still very much rapping his motherfukking ass off on the mic all these decades later.”

Nas is God's gift. How the fukk this nikka still got it at 50 age is just
