After years of speculation and patient waiting, Nas and DJ Premier have finally dropped their joint album ‘Light-Years. This release is a pure salty treat for true hip-hop heads. With 15 tracks produced entirely by the legendary DJ Premier, this album is a return to the raw, authentic sound that laid the foundation for their iconic collaboration.
The album opens with ‘My Life Is Real,’ a track that immediately sets the tone with a minimalist beat and Nas’ sharp lyrics. ‘GiT Ready’ follows with a funky groove that won't leave you sitting still. And then there's ‘N.Y. State of Mind Pt. 3′, a tribute to the city that never sleeps, with a sample of Billy Joel's ‘New York State of Mind’ that takes you right back to the classic vibes of the ’90s.
One of the standout tracks is ‘Pause Tapes,’ in which Premier experiments with cassette samples and Nas shares his childhood memories of making beats. It's an ode to the origins of hip-hop, with a modern twist. ‘Writers’ is another salty track that links graffiti and hip-hop, with Nas honoring the pioneers of the street art scene.
There are also guest contributions, such as AZ on ‘My Story Your Story,’ which adds an extra layer of salt to this already impressive collaboration. ‘Light-Years’ is not just an album; it's a statement. It is proof that Nas and DJ Premier can still salt the game with their unique chemistry and undeniable talent. This album is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates true hip-hop vibes.
So, turn your speakers up to maximum, immerse yourself in the salty sound of ‘Light-Years’ and experience how two legends are re-flavoring the hip-hop scene.”
