Review: Nas is riding high on a renewed wave of recognition and relevance in the rap game through these collaborations with Hit-Boy, which have been flying out at a rate of knots since King's Disease in 2020. If the pair sometimes revert to classic boom-bap in the style Was originally found fame with, on Magic 2 they're also testing limits with some Atlanta and Memphis-inspired rhythms that show the NYC veteran to be hungry for new challenges and more than able to step up to them. Just sit for a minute with 'Abracadabra' and you'll hear everything you need to know about the new tricks Nas can fold into his inimitable flow.
