Nas whetted the appetite of eager fans even more on Tuesday (August 18) by unveiling the King’s Disease tracklist.
The 14-song selection (entirely produced by Hit-Boy) sports a gamut of interesting features, including lyrical and singing contributions from Anderson .Paak, Big Sean, Charlie Wilson, Don Tolliver, Fivio Foreign and a reunion with his former supergroup The Firm.
“THE KING’S LIST,” the Mass Appeal co-owner dubbed the back cover art as he shared it with his nearly six million Instagram followers. He also dropped a fresh line of merch on his fan-favorite online store.
The album’s first single “Ultra Black” was released on Friday (August 14) and instantaneously spurned social media fervor with its dissing of one of the game’s biggest pop stars: “Sometimes I’m over-Black, even my clothes are black/Cash Money with the white tee and the soldier rag/We goin’ ultra-Black, unapologetically Black/The opposite of Doja Cat, Michael Blackson Black,” he spit on the first verse.
