Nas – “Legendary”

You know what we’ve noticed? No one ever talks about post-Esco Nas. Not in the same reverent way that they talk about illmatic Nas. All those rare/unreleased records that were recorded somewhere between It Was Written and Stillmatic – some of which made it onto The Lost Tapes – are you kidding? OD dope. Anyway, we bring that up because that’s the form Nas is in on this new track from the upcoming Tyson Documentary Soundtrack. If you haven’t seen the trailer yet, thehouseofsteve has gotcha covered. And look for a new joint album with Nas + Damian Marley, dropping June 23rd. More details here.
