10 Most Anticipated Hip-Hop Albums Of 2022

6. King's Disease III - Nas

Nas is undoubtedly one of the greatest rappers in the history of hip-hop, with classic albums like his revered debut Illmatic under his bet and millions of units sold across his extensive discography.

In recent years, Nas has been on an incredible run. Partnering with producer Hit-Boy, they released the Grammy Award winning album King's Disease in 2020. A year later the pair came together again to release an excellent follow up in King's Disease 2, which was also met with strong sales and rave reviews. In the same year they worked together again, with the excellent album Magic releasing at the end of the year. We have been completely spoiled by the slick production from Hit-Boy and masterful vocals of Nas for the last couple of years and that is not set to change any time soon.

King's Disease 3 was confirmed on the track 'Ugly' from the Magic album, with Nas rapping 'I’m on offense every day until I see the love, KD3 on the way, this just to feed the buzz.'

It seems that Nas is reveling in his position in hip-hop at this stage of his career and intends on bottling even more of the magic that happens when the rapper and producer come together.
