Album Review: Nas - King's Disease II

“When Nas heads back into the purely magisterial, kingly vibe on “Store Run”, a perfectly placed soul sample underneath, the Tony Montana comparisons feel more apt. Nas is no longer struggling on the streets, he’s at the top, on the throne, and when he’s rapping from that perspective it feels much more natural; just see the way he laughs “It’s about rank, you ain’t there yet / Think you gon’ send me to the store? I own the store, man.”“

I don’t write many rap reviews, but I enjoyed the challenge of writing about Nas’ new album King’s Disease II - see the full results on Beats Per Minute.
