Nas - King's Disease III (2022) Hi Res

The East Coast legend began teasing the project in late 2021, when he gifted fans with his 15th studio album Magic. He rapped on “Ugly,” “I’m on offense every day until I see the love/KD3 on the way, this just to feed the buzz.”

While some fans may have missed the King’s Disease III announcement upon the first listen, Nas’ frequent collaborator Hit-Boy took it upon himself to highlight the lyrics on Twitter, where he also referred to the rapper as a “maniac” (in a good way). The Grammy-winning producer kept details to a minimum, but his tweet made it clear he was heavily involved in the effort.
