Nas' 11th studio album and first in 6 years Nasir has arrived. The 7-track project is the fourth of five Kanye West-produced projects released in as many weeks, and the full production credits have been made available through Tidal and Spotify. At this time, we are reporting the current writers and producers listed for each track, though it is unclear if the credits are complete. Additional credits were released for Kanye West's Ye a week late, so it's possible that Nasir will have similar tweaks. Either way, the credits do reveal some interesting details on the production side of things. Cashmere Cat, who co-produced "Wolves" from The Life Of Pablo is present on two tracks, as is his frequent collaborator Benny Blanco. Other producers include Andrew Dawson, BoogzDaBeast, Evan Mast (presumably of Ratatat), and more.
