God’s Son

A vulnerable, spiritual pivot recorded in the wake of personal loss. Gritty New York boom-bap meets soulful, grief-stricken introspection and renewed clarity.

Find on Amazon

It's Nas at his most human, balancing hard-hitting street anthems with the kind of vulnerability that makes you want to call your mom.

A heavy, soulful meditation on loss and legacy that finds strength in vulnerability.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sound of pages turning between verses on Book of Rhymes as Nas raps discarded ideas.
The haunting acoustic guitar on Thugz Mansion (N.Y.) that transforms a street anthem into a prayer.
The explosive, minimalist energy of Made You Look that brings the 1980s park jam into the new millennium.
