Ghost's first album on Mass Appeal is coming very soon.

Nas and Ghostface Killah on one track? Absolutely 100,000% yes. Two of New York hip-hop's most recognizable and respected figures are hopping on the same song for just the second time ever. It is a shame we have had to wait 29 years for this moment, but it is better late than never. "Scar Tissue" is going to be the lead single for the Wu-Tang Clan member's forthcoming record Set The Tone.

It will be the first new album for Killah since 2019's Ghostface Killahs. However, it will be following up a reissue of The Lost Tapes that dropped back in October of last year. Furthermore, Set The Tone will also be the first record for Ghostface Killah on Nas' Mass Appeal Records. The project is due on May 9, according to Genius, and rumored features include Kanye West and Remy Ma.

"Scar Tissue" sees Killah and Nas shred a vicious East Coast boom-bap beat with killer guitar shreds. Both MCs rap with serious aggression, especially the lead act.

Quotable Lyrics:

If you take two to the head by mistake, pardon me
Payback's a b****, ain't it?
That's why I don't talk to n****s, I'm good, I ain't gettin' acquainted
Middle finger to the judge, we still killin' the plaintiff
We Staten Island n****s we don't gotta explain it, nah
Harlem Shake n****s for they pockets, stay tuned
