Hip-hop legend Nas has released Magic 2, his fifth album in three years.

Magic 2 continues Nas’ exceptional run of form and series of collaborations with producer Hit-Boy.  The record is comprised of ten brand new tracks, including Office Hours featuring 50 Cent, plus the previously released One Mic, One Gun featuring 21 Savage.

Magic 2 is the sequel to the surprise Magic album, released on Christmas Eve 2021.  The new offering is Nas’ fifth Hit-Boy-produced project following the Grammy Award-winning King’s Disease (2020), its Grammy-nominated sequel King’s Disease II (2021), Magic (2021) and, most recently of all, King’s Disease III (2022).

Earlier this year Nas performed at Madison Square Garden in New York, where he delivered a career-spanning set and was joined onstage by Mary J. Blige, Hit-Boy, AZ, and Slick Rick.  Since then he’s played Australia, New Zealand, Europe and the UK alongside the Wu-Tang Clan on their co-headline N.Y. State Of Mind Tour.  The North America leg of the tour begins 20th September and Nas and Wu-Tang will be joined on the road by De La Soul.
