Nas + DJ Premier’s ‘Light-Years’ DELIVERS | Ep. 192

This one is truly special, as two GOATs combine to bring us what most heads deemed the Holy Grail form back in the day – Nas and Preemo finally combine for a whole record, and drop ‘Light-Years’.

We review the album and speak on numerous topics, including thoughts on Preemo’s production style in the modern era, Nas’ elite pen, what this album means to us and much more.
