Today, Nas has come through to flip the script on its head with “ Fallen Stars Flying,” a new track off HBO’s Between The World And Me Soundtrack. And judging from a preliminary listen of the lyrically- potent drop, he succeeded in doing exactly that. Though King’s Disease was a breath of fresh air for Nas fans, “Fallen Stars Flying” does feel a little closer to his vintage sound — vividly rendered storytelling over gritty sample-based production. Fans will be pleased to see another solid drop from the legendary lyricist, and should this be the caliber Between The World And Me is bringing to the table, perhaps we’ll see more where that came from. “FOREIGN SONGS…

She’s not one to hold her tongue, and it sounds as if Masika Kalysha is lashing out in the studio. The multihyphenate entertainer and businesswoman has been steadily working on her rap career for years. Masika unleashed “ Masether,” a single where she spits a barrage of bars at Tory Lanez, a response to him mentioning her in his track “Sorry I Had To.” Lanez included a number of entertainers who spoke out against him while also praising Kylie Jenner.

Another day, another milestone hit by Eminem . This time, we’re looking at the seven-year anniversary of The Marshall Mathers LP 2, one of the most divisive albums of his career. For one, it found Em moving further away from the foundation he built alongside Dr. Dre, instead working with the legendary Rick Rubin, who brought a rock-inspired sensibility to the project.

Matching the beat’s pace, Em delivers a methodical flow with space for the myriad punchlines to land. Calling back to some of his vintage lyrical content, Em effortlessly weaves between rhyme schemes as he puts his cleverness on display. “FOREIGN SONGS…
