Genius previously broke down the controversy and its potential effect on her career in an episode of For the Record:
Nas faced his own controversy in 2018 after his ex-wife, singer Kelis, accused him of physically abusing her during their marriage. He has strongly denied the allegations.
He spends the rest of “Ultra Black” referencing symbols of Black culture as well as figures like Colin Kaepernick:
I stay pro-Black, my Amex black
Black like cornrows, afros
Black like Kaep’ blackballed from the Superbowls
Hall & Oates, I can’t go for that
Motown Museum, Detroit, I’m ultra Black
King’s Disease will be executive produced by Hit-Boy, and is set to be Nas’ first album since the 2018, Kanye West-produced Nasir. It more directly follows last year’s The Lost Tapes 2, made up of old, unreleased tracks.
Listen to the song above and read all the lyrics to Nas’ “Ultra Black” on Genius now.
