Nas Announces Release Date For 10th Album, “Life Is Good”
Def Jam Recordings and Nas have officially announced a July 17 release for the rapper’s tenth studio album, Life Is Good.
The first single from Life Is Good, ”Nasty,” hit airwaves last August and sparked the much-talked about notion that Nas would be releasing his new album before the end of the calendar year, which came and went.
Nas’ next single, “Daughters,” which was produced by No I.D. will be released on May 1, four days after the visual for his current single, “The Don,” hits the ‘Net.
Here's the trailer for 'The Don':

my favorite part is this "Drake aka the Patron Saint of Tenderness aka the Human Glee Episode aka The Inventor of the Audio Scrunchie aka the Merchant of Cuddles otherwise known as The Wizard of Pause. When son aint travelin the world collectin magic wands n lookin for next level china patterns...you can usually find the boy doin lyrical origami on a track or out rescuin strippers from captivity nahmean."
Oh lordt I love those lists
I'm not sure that would go down well here and I get why obviously.
Idk...maybe if you did snippets of the reasons why people were on the list to be on the safe side?
Coz some of the jokes/shade wouldn't fly at all. Also definitely change 'softest niggas to softest rappers'.
