Nas releases “The Lost Tapes 2” amid Forbes Music Entertainment 3rd Quarter Spotify Playlist Honors
Marketing director of hip hop promotion company Forbes Music Entertainment, D’ron Forbes is seated one afternoon on a conference call speaking with upcoming Female rapper Figures (New York), about who to feature on the 3rd quarter cover of Forbes Music’s Spotify playlist, “Top Hip Hop Weekly.”
The pair spoke briefly about featuring Drake who always has a phenomenal year, Meek Mill who over came much adversity and who’s latest release Forbes believes is his best yet or Nas who hasn’t released a record in a while, but has paved the way for the Drakes and Meeks of the world.
By the end of the conversation both were in agreement, Nas just couldn’t be eliminated by either party, but neither has any idea that Nas is gearing up to release another installment to his already legendary catalog. Forbes Music went on to add a few of Nas’s classics to the Spotify playlist as they do with every honoree. Timeless hits like “Hate Me Now” off the 1999 album “I Am…” and new vibes like “Won’t Take My Soul” from Dj Khalid’s “Father of Ashad” are added to the list. Throw in “Ether” and “You’re da Man” from the 2001 five mic project “Stillmatic,” and a special cover art to honor the artist; and you’re detinitely paying the right kind of homage.
But, not even a week after posting the honors, curator of “Top Hip Hop Weekly” D’ron Forbes is laid back refreshing Spotify for a new talent he had just been put on to; when he gets another surprise instead. Nas had just released a new project and it was “The Lost Tapes 2.” If you’re a hip hop head then you know how exciting this is for our rare generation, but the “Queensbridge Escobar” just gave Forbes 16 brand new tracks to consider. He finds that the project is very impressive, Nas has not lost a step and says “nearly the entire project is worth a feature.”
3 quarters of the way through the album, 1 quarter of the album is already playlisted; and Nas has already made Forbes Music history. No other artist has ever had more than 4 records featured on the playlist; but Forbes couldn’t bring himself to eliminate the previous additions; leaving Nas with an 8 track honoree intro to the playlist. An honor to which he has without a doubt earned the right. To find out which tracks made the playlist off the new album, check out the “Top Hip Hop Weekly” playlist on Spotify now.

Out Now: Tymain Robbins Releases Album ‘Fashionably Late’
North Carolina emcee and creative Tymain Robbins reveals his newest album ‘Fashionably Late’ September 29th which is a testament and journey for him to showcase not only his story but also his amazing talent in curating music. The main story of my upcoming album revolves around self-discovery and personal growth. Each track is a chapter in this narrative, with themes of overcoming, determination, and finding one’s true purpose. Fans of artists like J. Cole, Nas, and Jay-Z should find solace in Tymain Robbins.
“I also watched this Russ interview where he quoted something from John Mayor. He mentioned, “if you wait too long to drop your own songs you’re late to your own party”. That saying really stuck with me,” Tymain said. He continued with, “I’m an artist who has held on to years of music trying to create the perfect project, and it’s caused me to not drop much. The interview made me realize that during this time I’ve forced myself to be late to my accomplishments, celebrations, current fans enjoying new music, and new fans discovering me. So, I decided that if I’m late to my party then I at least need to arrive in fashion.”
The overall LP is based on a diverse amount of topics coming from the words of Tymain himself. The tracks that are the focus on this project are “Fashionably Late,” “Denim Tears,” and “Endless Possibilities.” “Fashionably Late” is about coming back after a hiatus and being better than ever due to the amount of work you put in over the off-season. “Denim Tears” plays on the title of the project, is filled with confidence and this song is about the embodiment of everything in your genes. “Endless Possibilities” is about overcoming adversity and finding strength within ourselves. It’s one of those, “if I can do it, so can you” records.
His recent Rolls Royce activation event is an example of how he extends his creativity to outside the studio. The Rolls Royce listening event was inspired by the luxurious and sophisticated nature of the album. “I wanted the event to match the grandeur of the music and provide fans with a unique and memorable experience,” he said. “The Rolls Royce symbolizes both success and class, which aligns with the album’s themes of ambition and self-improvement. I really just wanted to do something different that I haven’t seen before.”
