Nas And Hit-Boy's Album Streak Compared To Michael Jordan's Six Rings In New Painting

Man, what an incredible run Nas and Hit-Boy went on over the past three years. History started back in 2020 when the two would put out their first collaboration project, King's Disease. Just a year later, the second installment in the series would be released. Features like YG, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Eminem, and others would make it onto this project. However, what came next was a little surprising. Any rational thinker would assume that the next effort would be a third King's Disease. Alas, it was not, but instead the duo would begin a new series.

That would be the Magic titles, starting off in 2021 as well. It came out on Christmas Eve as a little gift for all of Nas' fans. After tons of hard work and even putting out some other versions of classic albums. Nas and Hit-boy would take about a year and a half off. 2023 might be the most impressive part of this run because they went on to unleash three projects in the span of six months.
