Off the bat, many were drawn to &#8220;EPMD 2,&#8221; featuring Eminem and EPMD. The track marks the first time Nas and Em have collaborated on wax as emcees, having previously <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/nas-and-eminem-connected-for-the-first-time-on-the-cross-new-song.1989664.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">connected on God&#8217;s Son highlight &#8220;The Cross.&#8221; </a>The album also brings a welcome reunion between Nas and Ms. Lauryn Hill, who previously crafted a classic together with &#8220;If I Ruled The World&#8221; &#8212; it should be interesting to see if they pick up where they left off.
Ever the hype-man, Hit-Boy slid into his own comment section with unapologetic excitement. &#8220;Wow Eminem and NAS first time rapping on a song together!&#8221; he notes. &#8220;Lauryn hill!! Death Row East!&#8221; Let it be known that his enthusiasm for the unexpected Nas sequel mirrors our own, and we look forward to hearing King&#8217;s Disease II in full when it drops in full this coming Friday, August 6th.
