GRAMMY-Award winning rap icon Nas and DJ Premier —two of the most influential and revered figures in hip-hop history have announced their highly anticipated collaborative album Light-Years is set to release on February 20th via Mass Appeal.
After decades of anticipation, Light-Years is a 30-year working legacy reborn. Nas and DJ Premier’s partnership is embedded in the DNA of Hip-Hop. Their origin story began in 1994 with Illmatic, which resulted in hits such as N.Y. State Of Mind, Memory Lane and Represent. Illmatic helped establish Nas as a generational talent and furthered Premier’s then burgeoning legacy. Their chemistry deepened over the next decade through classics like I Gave You Power, 2nd Childhood, Nas Is Like and N.Y. State Of Mind Pt. II.
Spearheaded by Mass Appeal’s groundbreaking Legend Has It..., a series celebrating and spotlighting some of the most important and influential Hip Hop artists of all time, the series has gifted a year long run of historic releases from culture defining artists including; Slick Rick, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Mobb Deep, Big L & De La Soul. With Light-Years, Nas and DJ Premier deliver the grand finale to close out the legendary series where their undeniable synergy remains elusive.
In 2006, Nas and DJ Premier appeared on the cover of Scratch Magazine, teasing a joint project that again refuelled fan frenzy and two decades worth of anticipation. Last year, Nas and Preem linked up to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Illmatic with the release of a new track, Define My Name, where they first announced their landmark collaborative album. Light-Years is a true testament to both artists’ influence, legacy and the timelessness of the music they create together.
