Nas and Hit-Boy are going for the three-peat. The Grammy Award-winning duo officially announced plans for King’s Disease 3 on Tuesday (October 18).
The legendary Queensbridge MC and West Coast beat maestro posted the gold-plated cover art of the LP on social media, along with its November 11 release date.
“KDIII 11-11 @Nas,” Hit-Boy wrote on Instagram, while Nas echoed the release date on his own Instagram page.
Nas sparked anticipation for King’s Disease 3 last December when he confirmed that the album was on the way on “Ugly,” from his and Hit-Boy’s surprise joint project Magic.
“I’m on offense every day until I see the love / ‘KD3’ on the way, this just to feed the buzz,” he rapped.
In an interview with Apple Music’s Ebro Darden earlier that year, Nas spoke about his collaborative relationship with Hit-Boy, who he referred to as the Quincy Jones to his Michael Jackson.
“He’s like my Quincy [Jones], you know what I mean?” he said. “So I feel like the next thing I do, if I was to work with Hit-Boy on the next thing I do, I think that we might do something that is going to be magical.”
