Albums
Feature Presentation 2025
In 2025, Nas and Mass Appeal introduced the Legend Has It… series, a collection of new albums from seminal rap artists like De La Soul, Big L, Mobb Deep, Slick Rick, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, and Nas himself with DJ Premier. A year later, Nasty Nas has revisited those projects in a new context, highlighting the guest verses he provided for each of these artists on their Legend Has It… releases. Ever the auteur, though, the New York legend takes a cue from bonus features included on home video releases, adding in his own “director’s commentary” in between tracks. It’s an essential listen for rap fanatics, a behind-the-scenes look at Nas’ relationships with some of the other biggest names in hip-hop. He reflects on De La Soul (“I been a fan since a kid”) and Ghostface Killah (“There’s no one greater than Ghostface”), adding a rich perspective to these late-era releases from Nas’ peers and idols.
