Finally!!! Nas and Premo Drop Long Awaited Full Length Album

The long-awaited collaborative album by Nas and DJ Premier, titled Light-Years, has been officially released.

The project marks their first full-length collaborative album after decades of anticipation since their initial work on Nas's classic 1994 debut, Illmatic. They initially announced a collabo album back in 2008. The 15-track album is entirely produced by DJ Premier and features a sole guest appearance from Nas's longtime rhyme mate, AZ. 

Light-Years is the final installment of Mass Appeal's "Legend Has It..." series, which has released new albums from other hip-hop icons this year, including Slick Rick, Mobb Deep, Big L, De La Soul, Raekwon, and Ghostface Killah.
