One of the Hip-Hop goats and prolific emcees, Nasir ‘Olu Dara’ Jones stage name Nas has stormed  Instagram to formally announce the release date of the MAGIC 3 album produced by Hitboy come Thursday,  September 14.

The King’s Disease rapper stormed IG, wrote and posted:

“I want to thank everyone for taking this ride with @hitboy & me. Itโ€™s been nothing short of Magical! The Album Drops On My Birthday. 9โ€ข14 at 9 PM. Forever Grateful, Enjoy!! Nasir Jones,” he captioned a blurry photo of himself. Fans were stoked to hear the announcement in the comments section. “Greatness.

Tellingly, it’s been a hell of a run. Nas and Hitboy are indeed the new ‘Gang Starr’. For three straight years now, this duo has been dropping back-to-back projects from dawn to dust resulting in a Grammy win in 2020 and a Grammy award nomination the following year.

Magic 3 comes just a few short weeks after Nas dropped the sequel. At the time, he commented on social media that he was in the midst of the best year of his life.
“Iโ€™m happy to be around making new music because I love it,โ€ the Queensbridge rap icon penned on Twitter. โ€œHaving the best year of my life. I caught the Holy Spirit and Iโ€™m grateful to be giving it all to the world. Magic 2.” 

Magic 2 had guest appearances from 50 Cent and 21 Savage.
