Nas x Hit-Boy – “MAGIC”
Released: 24 December 2021
3rd Installment from Nas and Hit-Boy! Is Hit-Boy 2021 producer of the year? Some people say MAGIC is an album full of throwaways from the Kings Disease series, but I actually think it’s better than Kings Disease 2!
★★★1/2 – ★★★★ : Very good; recommended to all fans of artist or genre.
