This week\u2019s New Music Friday feels like Christmas come early thanks to a stocking\u2019s full of musical gifts from some of rap\u2019s finest, past and present.<\/p>\n
Leading the bill is Nas<\/a> and DJ Premier<\/a>\u2018s decades-in-the-making joint album Light-Years<\/em>, which not only strengthens their legacy as one of hip-hop\u2019s greatest rapper-producer duos but closes out Mass Appeal Records\u2019 epic Legend Has It\u2026<\/em> series<\/a>.<\/p>\n Extending his own prolific run in recent years, 21 Savage<\/a> returns with What Happened to the Streets?<\/em>, a star-studded State of the Union address featuring Drake<\/a>, Lil Baby<\/a>, Metro Boomin<\/a>, GloRilla<\/a>, Latto<\/a> and more.<\/p>\n Not to be overshadowed, Conway The Machine<\/a> continues to prove he\u2019s larger than life with his majestically-titled new project You Can\u2019t Kill God With Bullets<\/em>. No Griselda features on this one, but guest spots from Roc Marciano<\/a>, G Herbo<\/a> and Tony Yayo<\/a> make up for it.<\/p>\n Elsewhere, Max B<\/a> and Pooh Shiesty<\/a> celebrate their respective releases from prison with new music, Bun B<\/a> and Statik Selektah<\/a> show no signs of slowing down with their fifth TrillStatik<\/em> album which was recorded in a single day, and Nas-approved newcomer Chris Patrick<\/a> capitalizes on his recent viral \u201cMafiathon 3\u201d freestyle with a new EP called Pray 4 Me<\/em>.<\/p>\n Check out all of this week\u2019s best new rap albums and songs below.<\/p>\n Featuring:<\/strong> AZ, Steve Miller Band<\/p>\nNas & DJ Premier \u2014 Light-Years<\/em><\/h3>\n
