DJ Khaled feat. Nas & John Legend – “Victory”

This track came out earlier today but I was reluctant to post it considering that the last time Khaled & Nas hooked up the results wasn’t that great. But this isn’t bad at all. With The Inkredibles behind the boards, Nas goes in with just one long verse and reminds us that we can mention [...]
