Nas and Scarface pen a letter to the love of their lives, “Hip Hop,” on DJ Khaled’s heavy-hitting new single from his upcoming album Kiss the Ring, due August 21. The elite MCs spit heartfelt lyrics dedicated to their craft over the J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League production, which features scratching from DJ Premier.
“I am Joseph, Darryl, Jason, Dr. Dre, O’Shea, and a host of those who passed away/ Today I’m Drake, I’m Wayne, 2 Chainz,” raps Nas.
Hear them express their love and loyalty to hip-hop.

Demonic.
But she’s the object of my affection
God’s essence
God Bless her.”

@edison,
He meant there the most popular rappers. Drake, Wayne and 2 Chainz have been featured on every single album I’ve bought.

You say you wanna rap, to this bitch you must commit
Then you’re a slave to your grave, you won’t get out, you cannot quit
