Nas is unapologetically Black on “Ultra Black” off of his new album King’s Disease. With all that’s happening in the U.S. and that has expanded around the globe in relation to and support of Black Lives Matter protests, Nassir is definitely on time with a track like this that celebrates the beauty of blackness.
Nas raps,
Rhythm and blues, pop, rock to soul to jazz
‘Til my toes are tagged (Uh)
How I look being told I’m not supposed to brag?
Nobody fault, I tell the truth, I know it’s facts, we ultra black
Grace Jones skin tone, but multi that
Multiple colors, we come in all shades, mocha black
This is a message that speaks to the nurturing of Black esteem and one that is always welcome.
