Because Nas<\/a> is a legendary artist, he knows greatness when he sees\/hears it. He’s making sure to also give those musicians their flowers too, doing so on a new snippet. The East Coast rapper is going to be one of many features on the forthcoming De La Soul<\/a> album, Cabin In The Sky.<\/a> <\/p>\n

His guest verse will come on track 11 of 20, “Run It Back!!” HipHopNMore<\/a> was able to acquire a sneak peek at the song, and they caught some pretty cool shout-outs from Esco. <\/p>\n

He raps, “Since the 80s, 90s and 00s? How it was sick, how did it slip? \/ Now it\u2019s just Doechii, Dot, and SZA with most powerful hits \/ Leon Thomas, Shaboozey\u2026 only black artists on top the charts.”<\/p>\n

Hopefully, all five of these outstanding voices get a chance to hear this because it’s truly a cool moment. They all deserve it too. The TDE trio, so to speak, have been dominating rap this entire decade so far with tours, albums, awards, and shows.<\/p>\n

As for Leon and Shaboozey, their respective rises in both country and R&B have been extraordinary, to say the least. Their recognition continues to grow with every feature or single they drop. <\/p>\n

For Dot though, this isn’t the only time in 2025 that he has received high praise from the Illmatic creator. During a chat with Rolling Stone and their similar tracks in “Hip Hop Is Dead” and “Watch The Party Die,” Nas revealed he holds the Compton spitter in rarified air. <\/p>\n

“We all as artists love this art form and have our opinions on it. Kendrick is one of the brightest stars we\u2019ve ever seen, and I don\u2019t only mean superstar, I mean like the North Star<\/a> \u2014 I think he\u2019s one of those,” he said in part. <\/p>\n

But as for De La Soul in particular, this will be their first project since 2016’s and the Anonymous Nobody… It drops later tonight at midnight. It’s also the second-to-last release to come during Nas and Mass Appeal’s Legend Has It series. <\/p>\n

Announced in April of this year, it’s giving fellow MC GOATs like Raekwon, Ghostface Killah<\/a>, Mobb Deep<\/a>, and etc. a platform to show how special they all still are. Fittingly, Nas and DJ Premier’s long-awaited collab album will cap off this streak of high-quality tapes.<\/p>\n

Their still untitled effort drops December 12<\/a> and has one potential single already out. That would be April 2024’s “Define My Name.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Because Nas is a legendary artist, he knows greatness when he sees\/hears it.
