Welcome to the South Easy
Despite the high probability that Nas’ new album Life Is Good will fall into the trap every other album since Illmatic has, and contain a load of not terribly good material alongside one or two bangers, Nasir Jones keeps teasing us with these leaks, building our hopes up that this might not be the case at all. Every track thats been released into the public domain so far has been good. And I don’t mean just plain old good – they’ve been Nas-back-to-his-best good. And this one is no different. Nas spits fire on the No I.D. produced beat while Large Pro punches in the ad libs. Only time will tell whether the whole album will be as good as the first parts we’ve listened to, but at this moment, I still believe.
