Nas and Hit-Boy take a moment to show some love to the fans for supporting "King's Disease 2."

King's Disease 2 has only been out a few days, but Nas and Hit-Boy have already entered the album of the year race with a confident vengeance.

Coming off the success of the first King's Disease, which netted the pair a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album and established incredible creative chemistry in the process, the sequel seemed to appear out of nowhere. Upon announcing the album -- as well as its stacked tracklist -- mere days before its arrival, it was clear that Nas was moving with the calculated confidence of an artist that could simply do no wrong.

Based on the early responses, many are already placing King's Disease 2 over its predecessor, citing highlight songs like "Death Row East," the Lauryn Hill-assisted "Nobody," "Moments," and the Eminem and EPMD posse cut "EPMD 2." Though the sales numbers have yet to surface, Nas and Hit-Boy recently took a moment to celebrate the album's release and glowing reception, sharing a victorious video message on social media.

Standing poolside overlooking a picturesque mountain view, Nas raises his glass. "Peace," he begins. "Me and my brother Hit-Boy, we want to thank all of ya'll man. KD2. It's that season. Escobar season." In a moment of either serendipitous or calculated timing, Nas' own music can be heard in the background, emphasizing the point with a well-earned "we did it."

Check out the video message from Nas and Hit-Boy below, and be sure to send the pair some appreciation for their excellent work on King's Disease 2. Do you think we're looking at a potential album-of-the-year contender?
