However, a rip of the live-streamed version was circulating online by the lunch hour-something to tide people over until it arrived on TIDAL late in the evening by Saturday, June 16 th, it was widely available across all digital platforms. By morning, the day of the ‘global release’ to Nasir, the album still had not properly surfaced. The live stream would stall out, and eventually, the feed went down completely, at least temporarily it would be restored, and at the event, the album would be played through twice. The YouTube video would connect, and an image of Nas moving through a crowd of people gathered to listen, would appear, and “Not For Radio,” would begin playing-in this iteration, the bombastic strings and choral accompaniment would be heard first, then his voice would come in, announcing that ‘Escobar Season’ was beginning-and then….nothing. CST, the event began-or at least, something that seemed like the live stream began.

The album itself, officially released late in the evening on June 15 th, was premiered at a loosely organized event held in Nas’ native Queens the day before the listening party, live streamed on YouTube, was supposed to begin at 8:30 p.m., Central Time-however, 8:30 came and went, and the event still had not started.Įventually, the live stream began broadcasting an image of the Queensboro Bridge, and closer to 10 p.m. These are jokes of course-made at the expense of the opening line of Nasir, uttered as soon as the album begins, on the grandiose, trudging, and skittering “Not For Radio.” And truthfully, at this point, I really never want to hear the expression, “ Escobar season begins,” again-thanks in part to the delayed listening party and botched roll out for Nasir. When is ‘Escobar Season?’ Is it something that occurs at this time of year-when spring officially turns into summer? How long does it last? Does it overlap, at all, with what is referred to as ‘Yeezy Season?’ Lacking really any kind of cohesion across the its seven tracks, Nasir arrives as a failed attempt at urgency and relevancy-the production, while more interesting than the beats West used on is own maligned ye, are not among his finest, leading one to believe that his attempt at marathon producing five albums and releasing them one after another over the course of five weeks, is starting to take its toll on him as well as his creativity and Nas, at age 44, sounds incredibly tired as an MC-his voice, always raspy, sounds more ragged here and exponentially less charismatic than it did in the past. I stop short of saying that it is a ‘bad’ album, but by the time it’s finished, you can see why it’s not very great. Nasir, unfortunately, is also not the album that will reach that level of near-perfection. One could say that Nas has, more or less, been riding on the goodwill of his auspicious 1994 debut, Illmatic, and that since then, his career has been one of diminishing returns-sure he’s had some popular singles here and there, and involved himself in a rap beef with Jay-Z, but overall, Nas peaked right out of the gate, and has been unable to reach that level of near-perfection a second time. So it’s difficult to reconcile any sliver of excitement about Nasir, because even before I pressed play, it already had that weighing heavily on its shoulders. To begin with, while West has had to publicly, on many occasions, try to explain and defend his support of Donald Drumpf and his belief that slavery was a choice, among other things, Nas, born Nasir bin Ola Dara Jones, has yet to even comment on the recent allegations brought forward by his ex-wife, Kelis Rogers-in a recent interview, Rogers implied that, during their relationship, outside of mental abuse, Nas would become blackout drunk, and would proceed to become physically abusive with her.

For an album that is 26 minutes in length, and comprised of seven songs, there are a surprising number of things to unpack on Nasir, the 11 th album from Nas, and the fourth out of five in a series of albums hastily produced in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, all by Kanye West.
