Mass Appeal Drops Timelines For Nas, DJ Premier, Big L & De La Soul Albums

The "Legend Has It" series already boasted new albums from Slick Rick, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, and most recently, Mobb Deep.
It's been an amazing year for hip-hop veterans dropping great albums, especially those coming out of Mass Appeal. Their "Legend Has It" series in 2025 already boasts releases from Slick Rick, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, and most recently, the partly posthumous Mobb Deep album Infinite (RIP Prodigy). Now, the baton passes to De La Soul's LP, Big L's posthumous effort (RIP), and the year out.

Nas and DJ Premier built loads of hype, as the longtime collaborators continue to stand as two revered icons in New York rap and beyond. But there's even more to share. Per HipHopDX, at a New York Comic-Con panel on Friday (October 10), Esco and Preemo appeared alongside many of their "Legend Has It" peers - including the surviving De La members Posdnuos and Maseo (RIP Trugoy The Dove), The Chef, GFK, and Slick Rick - to talk about their Marvel comic book collaboration and their next albums. The Illmatic spitter's collab album with Premier will come out in December. However, we don't have a specific release date or title yet

joint Nas and DJ Premier record to close the year out.
