So, if you caught the previous update on DJ Khaled's upcoming album Kiss the Ring, then you don't need this; however, if you managed to miss it (which is reasonable to believe), I'll reiterate a previous thesis statement: DJ Khaled isn't much for a musician, but his ability to bring our favorite artists together for collaborations is impeccable, as can be seen in this latest leak titled "Hip-Hop" that reunites Nas, Scarface and DJ Premier for what I'll give the cosign as one of the best songs of the year (not that my cosign really means anything in the big picture).

The density of the narration throughout "Hip-Hop" is rightly described as unrivaled, and for everyone out there saying that the genre needs to reroute itself towards a Renaissance of its roots, this one should give you the fix. Of course, it takes three of hip-hop's greatest veterans (Khaled excluded) to make it happen, but exceptional is too-less of a word to even begin describing what we have here.
Khaled has myriad major features for his upcoming project, so it's probably fair to expect more quality in proximity to this. Here's "Hip-Hop," give it a listen, throw up your thoughts. Kiss the Ring drops August 21.
