Nas' five year run with Hit-Boy is unprecedented in Hip-Hop. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Nas detailed the incredible run he's been on with Hit-Boy for the past few years.
"I’m in one of these creative growth spurts," he said. "It’s something that I'm really excited about and it surprises me – but I'm not too, too surprised because I was also waiting for the day that I felt like this again, and I knew it would come."
After receiving 13 nominations, Nas' 12th studio album, 2020's King's Disease, won him his first Grammy for Best Rap Album at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards.
