Nas has dropped a surprise new album called Magic produced entirely by Hit-Boy according to NME.
The entertainment platform adds that the legendary MC announced the project on social media Thursday, December 23, just a few hours before releasing it.
“MAGIC is in the air,” he reportedly wrote on Instagram, captioning a post that included the artwork and back sleeve of the album. “Midnight et brand new music to vibe to.”
The new record marks Nas’ second studio album of the year, arriving just five months after the release of King’s Disease II. It’s also his third collaborative album with Hit-Boy, following the original King’s Disease project as well as its sequel.
Magic is predominantly a feature-less project, but one track, ‘Wave Gods’, sees him team up with A$AP Rocky and DJ Premier.
