Nas spoke previously about making a third album with Hit-Boy, shortly after the release of ‘King’s Disease II’. At the time he said the pair had no plans for another joint project but he would be up for working with him again if the idea was right.

“I feel like the next thing I do, if I was to work with Hit-Boy on the next thing I do, I think that we might do something that is going to be magical,” the rapper said.

“I think what we have is magic. And I think the next thing we do would have to be the next page. And that, to me, excites me, that possibility.” He also called Hit-Boy his “Quincy Jones”.

Elsewhere on ‘Magic’, the rapper-producer pair confirmed that a ‘King’s Disease III’ album would be dropping at some point, with Nas rapping the news on the track ‘Ugly’ and Hit-Boy sharing the lyrics on Twitter.

In a five-star review of ‘King’s Disease II’, NME‘s Will Lavin wrote: “This dizzying victory lap boasts effervescent moments from Eminem and Lauryn Hill, but even they’re overshadowed by the main man’s emotional candour.”
