GRAMMY-Award winning rap icon Nas and DJ Premier —two of the most influential and revered figures in hip-hop history—announced their highly anticipated collaborative album Light-Years is set to release on December 12th 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,” 2 nd Childhood,” “Nas Is Like” and “N.Y. State Of Mind Pt. II.”
Light-Years is a true testament to both artists' influence, legacy and the timelessness of the music they create together.
