There’s more to say on this than I can offer at the moment, but: with Untitled, Nas reestablishes himself as the best rapper alive. It’s a concept record, and a beautiful one, about black empowerment, struggle, redemption and victory. There’s even an inadvertent Jezebel shoutout. More on this later — it’s a really complex and near-perfect record — but for now, make sure you at least download "America," "Hero," and "Queens Get The Money" (which is like Nas meets Steve Reich, no lie).
