3026579, I'm enjoying this one

On the first few listens to only song that really grabbed me was "King's Disease" and the .Paak record, but given it's brevity (and nothing else of interest being dropped on Friday) it kept getting spins and it grabbed me more and more with each listen.

The tracks I like:
King's Disease
Blue Benz
Ultra Black (enjoy this more as part of the album than as a single)
27 Summers
All Bad
Full Circle (AZ, man...)
10 Points
The Cure (the second beat!!!!)

Some of the beats don't really work for Nas, but overall I was pleasantly surprised with the production given Nas' track record. I feel like him working with one producer helped a lot.

I never heard of Lil Durk until hearing him on that Drake track a few weeks ago and now on this Nas album. I hope I never hear him again.

Keep hearing people saying it's his "best since Life Is Good". I'm in the "it's his first album since Life Is Good" camp. The Lost Tapes 2 was a compilation of scraps, and that Kanye mess was barely an album.
