Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Sealed 2022 Special Edition Pressing On "Galaxy" Coloured Vinyl. Housed In Heavy 24pt Glossy Jackets, With Matte Finish Euro Inner Sleeves, A 2x24” Printed Insert / Lyrics Sheet, Sealed With A Unique Obi Strip. Prodcution From Hit-Boy, Features Including A$AP Rocky & DJ Premier. "2020's King's Disease And Its 2021 Sequel King's Disease II Represented A Return To Form For New York Rap Legend Nas, Teaming With Hit-Boy For A Steady Drip Of Excellently Crafted New Material That Took Inspiration From Early-'90s Hip-Hop Classics But Pushed Beyond Mere Nostalgia. Both Albums Were Received With More Fan Enthusiasm And Critical Regard Than Much Of Nas' 2010s Output. The Nine-track Album Magic Is Cut From A Similar Cloth As The King's Disease Installments That Preceded It, But Works As More Of A Stopgap Release To Tide Over Listeners As King's Disease Iii Is Being Finalized. Hit-Boy's Thick, Straightforward, And Somewhat Retro-stylized Production Again Offers As Much Of A Voice Here As Nas' Fluid Rhyming And Wizened Lyricism. Summery Beats And Glitched-out Soul Samples Make Tracks Like "Ugly" And "Hollywood Gangsta," And The Huge Fun Of "Wave Gods" Finds A$ap Rocky Dropping In For A Guest Verse While DJ Premier Scratches In Some Familiar Hooks From The Archives Of Golden-Era Rap."
