Phife Dawg’s Posthumous Single “Nutshell 2” Arrives Ft. Busta Rhymes & Redman

Next month marks five years since the passing of A Tribe Called Quest icon Phife Dawg, and as Hip Hop continues to celebrate his legacy, it’s also gearing up for a new project. It was recently announced that Phife’s posthumous album Forever is on its way, and to solidify the project’s arrival, we’ve received the lead single “Nutshell 2” featuring Busta Rhymes and Redman. These three are arguably a few of the greatest rappers to pick up a microphone and “Nutshell 2” is the perfect postscript for the late rapper’s 2016 release, “Nutshell.”

“We are excited about the partnership with AWAL for Malik’s posthumous album release,” Phife Dawg’s family previously shared. “We give all glory to God for allowing Malik to accomplish everything his heart desired, including his solo music. He worked really hard to complete his album before he transitioned, and he was ready to share an album that was near and dear to his heart with his fans. His fans meant the world to him.”

Quotable Lyrics

Invulnerable, inviting, invincible
Inventive one, which leaves most inviable
Get involved, invest in these youths kid
Invigorate, induce that old realness
Insecure, nah, more like inhumane, it’s not a game
Shut your mouth, use your inner voice, stay in your lane
