"The Queensbridge legend's 13th album marks a retreat into a nostalgia-act comfort zone, one that suits him even as it yields diminishing returns".

"There's no denying that Nasir "Nas" Jones is a cultural force unto himself. Across a career spanning three decades, the Queensbridge, NY-bred rapper has a pedigree of records and hits that most MC's would outright kill for - not to mention Grammy wins, frequent slots on G.O.A.T. lists, and an accumulation of wealth and success. And yet, on his thirteenth solo album, Nas pauses to address what he perceives to be the price of this triumph".

"Nas is less-hemmed-in artistically on the follow-up to the compromised, hastily created Nasir. This time, he works closely with Hit-Boy, who either produces or co-produces each track ... Going strictly by the conviction and feeling in each line, King's Disease is the MC's best work since 2008".
