Doc Zeus rocks Roberto Cavalli/no shirt on/convertible Mazy I can’t get past that cover. Here is an accomplished man, impeccably tailored with the watch and liquor to match, sequestered in the back room of a lavish night club. He sits lonesome. A green wedding dress has been carefully laid across his lap while he stares off intently into the distance. The phrase, “Life Is Good,” is written in an elegant script below his designer shoes. as if to suggest some bitter irony about the direction his life has gone. At first glance, it's [...]
"Loco-Motive" may be something like the hundredth leak that's dropped in advance of Nas ' newest effort Life Is Good (due July 17th), but, like everything that has been previewed from the set so far, the record continues to find the rapper sounding like he's on the verge of dropping a "five mic" killer. Boasting credits that include No I.D. on production and Large Professor as hook hype-man, and finding Nasir effortlessly slinging evocative lyrical illustrations of his hard knock New York come-up that make descriptions of chowing down [...]
We have heard a bunch of tracks off the upcoming Nas record, Life is Good , but today sees the record’s best release to date in “Loco-Motive”. Over a grim piano-laden beat by No ID, Nasir gets his angry face on and just rhymes and rhymes and rhymes. He closes by stating “for my trapped in the 90’s niggas”, which possibly could please the fans of his Illmatic days. I really love everything about this, besides the 42nd Street terminal shout out. That place just sucks. Life is Good will [...]
With every passing release from Life Is Good, lingering doubts surrounding Nas's ability to deliver a great album in 2012 are quickly being put to rest. Case in point, "Loco-motive," [...]
No I.D. blesses Nas with some stellar production on a new track off the MC's upcoming Life Is Good album. Titled 'Loco-Motive,' Nas traces us through his ancestry before revealing how he was able to find happiness. Check out the new track below: Life Is Good drops July 17. MP3: Nas - "Loco-Motive" ft. Large Professor (prod. by No I.D.) |
Well this is an all-star lineup if I've ever seen one. Nas grabs Large Professor for "Loco-Motive" which is produced by the legendary No I.D. These three artists single-handedly defined Hip-Hop in 1994 with their work on Illmatic and Common's Resurrection , and it is only right Nas ends the song by repeating "This is for trapped in the 902s n***as". This is for yall. Nas's Life is Good LP is due July 17th.
The leaks from Nas' impending LP Life As Good are coming thick and fast. That can only mean one thing; we're under a month and counting until what is easily my most anticipated hip hop album of this year hits the shelves. Actually, on second thoughts, it more likely means that it's under two weeks until some underling leaks Life Is Good in its entirety. Either way, Nasir's latest opus is going to be a goodie, as the latest leaky-leak shows and proves. 'Accidental [...]
On last Thursday night at the corner of Prince and Bowery Streets in New York City, life was good for a few people. "Man, my intern got ME into VIP," [...]
Nas and director Chris Robinson bring "Daughters" full circle with the accompanying video. The clip transitions through the different periods in life for Nasir and his daughter Destiny, showing how [...]
Nas has been on a pretty serious roll with the singles littering the lead-up to his tenth studio effort Life Is Good , the previously released "Nasty" and "The Don" both registering as screwface/ head-nod-igniting, boom bap-backed lyrical workouts that nod back to his early 902s throne-nabbing roots while also giving the strong hint of Life possibly being another "five mic"-worthy classic. That Illmatic -esque quality hasn't dipped an inch For third official pre-tease "Daughters", a poignant father-to-"princess" ode that finds him struggling with how to deal with a rapidly maturing [...]
Nas gets real with this listen from his next album titled Life is Good which is set to be in our hands July 17. Produced by No I.D. ! Check out his video for "The Don" above.
Fans of Nas have already marked the 17th of July on their calendars. Unless they don't have calendars, in which case the crafty thugs probably went out, grabbed some construction paper and made link chains to countdown the days until the highly-anticipated Life is Good is released. That's right, if you hadn't heard it already, your reading it now: The head professor of complex lyrical flow is back and "Daughters" marks the third nugget of the upcoming album to hit our ears. It chronicles the concerns and pressures of raising daughter in the digital [...]
Nasty Nas just keeps keeping on these days, doesn't he? Following on from the reggaefied banger 'The Don' (the video of which is due tomorrow), Nasir switches down the pace a little with a No I.D. produced gem, 'Daughters', and ode to... you guessed it, daughters. Nas is in a reflective mood on this one, waxing lyrical on the trials and tribulations of raising a young girl these days over a suitably serene beat. It is a family story, after all. 'Daughters' is due to appear on [...]
Clearly, Nasir has his ear to the streets, the social networks and barbershops. After "Another Black Girl Lost," the resounding response from the peanut gallery was everyone wanted to hear [...]
