Nas & DJ Premier - Light-Years

Two legends. One record. 'Light-Years' sees Nas link with DJ Premier for the legendary hip hop release that fans have been anticipating for years. A must have addition for any serious collection.

• After decades of anticipation, Light-Years is a 30-year working legacy reborn. Nas and DJ Premier's partnership is embedded in the DNA of Hip-Hop. Their origin story began in 1994 with Illmatic, which resulted in hits such as "N.Y. State Of Mind," "Memory Lane" and "Represent." Illmatic helped establish Nas as a generational talent and furthered Premier's then burgeoning legacy. Their chemistry deepened over the next decade through classics like "I Gave You Power," 2nd Childhood," "Nas Is Like" and "N.Y. State Of Mind Pt. II."

   
  Spearheaded by Mass Appeal's groundbreaking Legend Has It..., a series celebrating and spotlighting some of the most important and influential Hip Hop artists of all time, the series has gifted a year long run of historic releases from culture defining artists including; Slick Rick, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Mobb Deep, Big L & De La Soul. With Light-Years, Nas and DJ Premier deliver the grand finale to close out the legendary series where their undeniable synergy remains elusive.
   
  Light-Years is a true testament to both artists' influence, legacy and the timelessness of the music they create together.
