I consider myself pretty acquainted with unreleased Nas - I have never heard this one before and it seems to have emerged fairly recently? It's rare that I get chills listening to hip hop anymore but dammit this verse is just so beautiful - it has that haunting / brooding quality that made some his work on Lost Tapes Vol. 1 and God's Son so timeless. I like it so much I've tried to get the lyrics down - help a brother out if you think I got it wrong!

I've lived, I've cried, I've loved, I've died in war
I rise once more to conquer the vengeance
Slaughter, repentance, the drama, it's endless, the pain
My dreams are demented
With demons and witches which feed on my greed for money, for sex
Was hungry, was stressed, was young and obsessed with
Bentleys to dress, expensive tuxedos and gators with diamonds
My nature became cocaine, relying on iron with clips, in corners with fiends,
From cracks left foes to starve
I feel them inside my brain and they screamin'
I've tried to feed them
My foes were jealous, my soldiers not loyal
I showed them the way to water, they drink and they thought they could poison my cup so They would be rich without me
They bit the hand that fed them I unloaded my weapon, exploded and left them with death
To have them unwanted, them b*stards was with it
The country, the senate, they hunt for me but listen...
I changed my description they raided my home and I'm gone.

Just listened to this for about 30 minutes straight and this is
verse of the year already lol 2020 was the 2nd verse of The Cure
and this might actually be better and the world will probably never hear it smh
No lyrical miracle this is just vintage Nas at his rawest. With the Adele Hello
sample in the beat.. This song is crazy!

Grammy win or not, anyone think Nas is following up King’s Disease this year with a new album or some other type of project?

I mean Nas doesn’t do album release cycles based on award wins lol.

King’s Disease is strong enough that he could drop at LEAST two more singles/videos and keep the promo going. EVERYBODY wants a Full Circle video and Car 85 could be a great video too. I’m not sure Nas is done with King’s Disease quite yet.



Nas has dropped THREE projects the past three years, which is unprecedented for him. The man didn’t even get to properly tour King’s Disease, which sucks because i’m sure songs like Car 85, 27 Summers, and The Definition would’ve sounded CRAZY live. If he drops the “secret” album this year i’d guess he’d stay on the summer wave he’s been on the last 5 albums.

Untitled- July 2008
LIG- July 2012
Nasir- June 2018
Lost Tapes 2- July 2019
King’s Disease- August 2020

Nas REALLY seems to like dropping in July, and IF the album is Dr Dre produced we all know Dre can make some excellent summer bangers. Plus hopefully by that time of the year he could tour again.

Yea he definitely has something I think will be dropping in 2021.

Most likely since he spoke about the secret project before King's Disease was even finished.
Then on the breakfast club interview they invited him to talk about it when it's ready and they said "not in 10 years" cause it's been a long time since they had him and he basically reassured them on the fact that it's coming sooner than that.

I'm thinking this summer he will drop something. That and KD will keep that new Nas music out there until touring open us again. He might hit the road and tour then drop LT3 sometime after.

He got that secret project in the tuck. But I would love to hear Nas do an EP with Pete Rock or Premo.

I can see Nas dropping next year. We already know there’s a secret project. And as others have said, there’s more of an incentive to drop projects when you own the masters. I’d imagine Nas is looking at that Grammy sales bump and feeling good lol.
