Nas – The Lost Tapes 2 [Vinyl 2LP]
Hip-hop icon Nas – esteemed for a quarter-century as one of the undisputed greatest MC’s of all time – fulfills a long-standing promise to himself and his loyal fans with the release of The Lost Tapes II via Mass Appeal/Def Jam Recordings. The Lost Tapes II compiles selected unreleased tracks from Nas’ last four albums including Hip-Hop is Dead (2006), Untitled (2008), Life is Good (2012), and Nasir (2018). More than a decade and a half has passed since 2002, when Nas first compiled the original volume of The Lost Tapes. That collection likewise focused on unreleased tracks that didn’t make it onto previous albums, namely I Am… (1999) and Stillmatic (2001). When Nas announced that he had a similar project in mind encompassing unreleased tracks from the past 15 years, fans rejoiced. The Lost Tapes II turns those fans’ dreams into reality!
