On 27 Summers, Nas comes forth with a bold testimony about his staying powers. Confident as ever, Nas is able to create a track that is simultaneously hard-hitting while keeping just enough crossover appeal. The lyrical content of Nas’s bars reads like a James Joyce book; there are so many nods to past and present happenings and Nas’s own experiences during this cut. 27 Summers portends another season of fantastic music coming from this member of rap royalty. It’s doubly surprising that Nas is able to include so much content into a track that concludes before the three-minute mark.
We’ve previously covered Nas’s Replace Me and Spicy.
