Mass Appeal CEO Peter Bittenbender revealed that Nas’ “Lost Tapes 2” is schedule for a 2016 release.
“I love talking about it,” Bittenbender says, “because every time I talk about it, I feel like I’m helping bring it to life. Nas is working to deliver this next record to Def Jam, which will be his last [for them]. I haven’t been too involved in that, so I can’t tell you when it’s coming. Once that’s out, then Lost Tapes will follow shortly after. It’ll definitely be a 2016 release, hopefully earlier in the year than later. The music’s amazing. It carries on what he built with the first Lost Tapes. The fans are gonna love it.”
The Queensbridge lyricist is a co-founder of Mass Appeal Records, thus far he signed Cali native Fashawn, Run The Jewels, Boldy James, Bishop Nehru, and Dave East. Nas confirmed last year that his final album under Def Jam is complete.
