Mark July 17th on your calendars, people. Thats the day Nas' new album, Life is Good, will hit the streets. A couple tracks from this work have been leaked online over the past year, drumming up considerable excitement about the 10th studio album from this hip-hop legend. The buzz hasn't all been positive, though. The release of "Daughters" this week sparked Nas' ex, Carmen Bryan, to take to the internet in criticism of both the song and Nas' parenting of their teenage daughter, Destiny. Personal issues aside, these tracks are quality, exhibiting crisp, driving production and lyrical talent reminiscent of the early albums that showed Nas to be one of the greatest rappers of all time. Definitely worth checking out.
"The Don" and "Daughters", are included below. I also threw in a couple Nas classics, "Memory Lane", "It Ain't Hard to Tell", and "Black Girl Lost", for your listening/downloading/comparing pleasure.
