Nasaan is a 25 year old MC/producer from Atltanta, Georgia by way of Detroit, Michigan notable for being the son of the late D12 de facto leader & in my opinion the greatest Detroit emcee of all-time Proof. Some of you may remember him for releasing the Def Jam-backed debut EP Kiss of Karma in July of 2019, which gave listeners a taste of what was to come from the promising Motor City up-&-comer. Now that he’s been signed to Atlantic Records since last summer, Nasaan’s further establishing himself by returning with a 2nd EP.

After the “ERROR” intro, the first song “Goated” featuring Royce da 5’9” on the intro is this off the wall trap banger talking about his greatness whereas “Devil to Atlanta” takes the futuristically bassy route instrumentally talking about bringing Satan himself to the ATL. “Top N****r” featuring Daniel Hex starts off melodically until aggressively transitioning & boasting his top dog status, but then the dynamic “It’s Giving…Leo” produced with mR. pOrTeR encouraging a bitch to tell him about himself.

“Key Up!” gives off a cloudy trap vibe thanks to Turbo & Pooh Beatz lifting the seat in his Maybach up prior to “Stepping on Shit” featuring SWAVAY taking a vibrant approach generally spitting braggadocio. “Lunchroom Freestyle” featuring Babytron shows off their charisma for a couple minutes while the atmospheric “Land of Cap” dedicates itself to his father. “Cullinan Gang” featuring Icewear Vezzo ends the EP smoothly exclaiming they don’t believe in relaxation.

On his Atlantic debut, Nasaan returns after 5 years telling listeners what it was like to grow up & live in Atlanta with every track stemming from an experience of his & bring it back home. He even invites guests from Detroit to this world in a successful attempt to blend the 2 worlds, continuing to build upon the trap sounds of Kiss of Karma & establishing an indentity of his own detailing the personal growth he’s gone through since.

Score: 3.5/5
