Rap legend Nas’ Mass Appeal Records continues to cater to traditionalists and oldheads with the announcement of its “Legend Has It…” series, featuring seven new albums from New York hip-hop pioneers.
New records from Nas & DJ Premier, De La Soul, and Mobb Deep are among the upcoming releases slated to drop before the end of 2025, along with Ghostface Killah’s long-rumored Supreme Clientele 2, his Wu-Tang Clan cohort Raekwon the Chef’s Emperor’s New Clothes, and a posthumous Big L project, as well as “the epic return of a surprise guest of honor.”
Notably, De La Soul and Mobb Deep will each be releasing their first albums since the passing of respective members Trugoy the Dove and Prodigy.

Many of these upcoming projects have been teased in some capacity. Nas and DJ Premier officially announced their collaborative project almost exactly one year ago, while De La Soul’s Maseo told Kyle Meredith in 2023 that he and bandmate Posdnuos were working on their highly anticipated album AOI 3.
This past February, longtime Mobb Deep collaborator The Alchemist broke the news that he would be co-producing a new Mobb Deep album with Havoc and mentioned Nas would be involved.
No official release dates have been announced. Check out a teaser trailer below.
