Mass Appeal just shook the game with a move that’s about to have every hip-hop head buzzing. The trailblazing label announced Legend Has It…, a series of seven heavyweight albumsspotlighting none other than some of New York’s most iconic artists. Yep, we’re talking Nas, DJ Premier, Ghostface Killah, Mobb Deep, Raekwon The Chef, Big L, De La Soul, AND they’re teasing a massive surprise guest. Goosebumps, anyone?
Slated to roll out between now and the end of 2025, this series is all about celebrating the titans who built hip-hop from the ground up. These legends didn’t just create tracks; they crafted the blueprint for the culture. New York streets to worldwide reach—that’s the impact we’re talking about here.
Now you know we gotta talk highlights. First up, Nas and DJ Premier are back to remind us why their chemistry is untouchable. Ghostface Killah is dropping the long-awaited follow-up to his 2000 masterpiece Supreme Clientele. Wu-Tang’s own Raekwon is stepping in with some heat of his own, titled Emperor’s New Clothes.
But Mass Appeal’s not just celebrating the living legends; they’re honoring fallen giants too. The series will include the first albums from Mobb Deep and De La Soul since the heartbreaking losses of Prodigy and Trugoy The Dove. Plus, prepare yourselves for some posthumous fire from Harlem’s finest, Big L.
If this sounds like a history lesson wrapped in dope beats and bars, that’s because it is. Mass Appeal has made it their mission to preserve the cornerstones of hip-hop while pushing the culture into its next chapter. According to the label, Legend Has It… ain’t just an album series; it’s a movement.
