Today, rap icon Nas took to social media to announce the end of an era in his last Hit-Boy-produced album, Magic 3.
The anticipated sequel is set to release on the Grammy-winning rapper’s 50th birthday this Thursday (Sept 14).
Over the years, the tandem have routinely delivered next level collaborations that push the boundaries of hip-hop. Capping Nas & Hit-Boy’s prolific run (which includes six albums in three years; and Best Rap Album at the 2021 Grammy Awards – King’s Disease II) during HipHop50 is the perfect bookend to a brotherhood that will stand the test of time.
The announcement arrives on the heels of Hit-Boy’s recent nomination for “Producer of the Year” at the 2023 BET Hip-Hop Awards.
