The tracklist for Magic 2 hasn’t been revealed yet, but 50 Cent has since taken to Instagram to announce that he’ll make an appearance. The first Magic EP released on Christmas Eve in 2021 contained nine songs, including features from A$AP Rocky and DJ Premier.

The upcoming release of Magic 2 comes after Nas and Hit-Boy linked up once again in 2023, for the third installment of their “King’s Disease” album series. 17 new songs were released. All three King’s Disease albums have been released since 2020, as the first one won a Grammy for Best Rap Album, which was also Nas’ first Grammy win. The fourth installment has recently been teased by Hit-Boy, as well.
