For Nas, after a lot of personal tragedy, triumph has finally arrived and “Life Is Good.” As he prepares to release his new album on July 17th, he also released a short video that explains the album title and the image on the cover. He is seen wearing white sitting on a black couch holding a green dress. The dress was Kelis’ wedding dress; it was also the only thing that she left in the house once she moved out in the midst of their divorce.

With his open disapproval of the current state of the rap game, it goes without saying that the pressure to produce greatness is heavy on Nas’ shoulders. Do you think the pressure is too much? Or can Nas rise to the challenge?
