Life Is Good is the eleventh studio album by American rapper Nas. It was recorded at various studios in New York and California, and produced primarily by No . Nas wrote the album after his divorce from recording artist Kelis and compared it to Marvin Gaye's 1978 record Here, My Dear. Life Is Good was released by Def Jam Recordings on July 13, 2012, to widespread critical acclaim and debuted at number one on the American Billboard 200 chart. It also reached the top 10 of record charts in Canada, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
Still, Life Is Good is arguably Nas’ best LP since Stillmatic. In a climate where substance is scarce, the album is necessary. It’s potent from the excellent cover art to Nas’s sharp bars. The Queens MC is open, but not emo. Hard, but also thought-provoking. On Reach Out, Nas rhymes, And you become better than legends you thought were the greatest.
