Harry Pattern and the Magic Oak Once upon a time in a small village called Willowbrook, there lived a young boy named Harry Pattern. Harry was an ordinary boy with an extraordinary dream - to become a great wizard. Every night, he would read books about magic and practice simple spells in his bedroom. One day, while exploring the nearby forest, Harry stumbled upon a magical oak tree. The tree was believed to possess extraordinary powers and was said to grant one wish to anyone who could decipher its secret. Excited by the prospect of fulfilling his dream, Harry approached the tree with determination.
He’s missed the top 10 just once, with the No. 11-peaking Greatest Hits in 2007. While Nas’ career predates the Top Rap Albums list, the rapper has landed a strong success rate on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, which encompasses his entire career. Before Street’s Disciple, Nas logged eight top 10s on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, from 1994’s Illmatic to 2003’s God’s Son. In that span, five of those efforts reached No. 1.
Marking his fifth full-length collaboration alongside Hit-Boy, Magic 2 comes with 11 cuts and assists from 21 Savage and 50 Cent, the latter of whom last connected with the Queensbridge legend on wax over 20 years ago. Following an uncredited appearance from hip hop personality Don Magic Juan on Intro, Nas reminds listeners of his position in the rap game via the hard-hitting Abracadabra.
Excited by the prospect of fulfilling his dream, Harry approached the tree with determination. As Harry touched the ancient oak tree, a jolt of energy surged through his body. He could feel the tree's spirit communicating with him.

"Young Harry, if you wish to become a great wizard, you must prove yourself worthy. I will grant you three trials, each testing a different aspect of your magical abilities," the tree whispered. Eager to prove his worth, Harry accepted the challenge and prepared himself for the first trial. The tree opened up a hidden passage that led to a labyrinth filled with riddles, puzzles, and magical creatures. With his wit and determination, Harry successfully completed the first trial and was granted a new spellbook which contained advanced spells. For the second trial, the tree transported Harry to a treacherous mountain peak. The mountain was covered in snow, and a powerful blizzard raged around him. He had to use his knowledge of elemental magic to create a shield and navigate the treacherous terrain. After hours of battling against the freezing winds, Harry emerged victorious and was granted the power to control the elements. The third and final trial was the most challenging of all. Harry found himself in a dark cave filled with illusions and mirrors. He had to face his deepest fears and doubts. With courage and self-belief, Harry overcame the illusions and shattered the mirrors, proving that he was ready to embrace his destiny as a great wizard. As the final mirror shattered, the oak tree's branches embraced Harry, surrounding him with a brilliant light. "You have proven yourself worthy, young Harry. I hereby grant you the gift of true magic," the tree declared. In that moment, Harry felt an overwhelming surge of power and knowledge flowing through him. Now armed with the tree's magic, Harry returned to his village as a true wizard. His dream had come true, and he dedicated himself to using his newfound powers for the greater good. Harry Pattern became a legendary figure in the world of magic, and his story inspired generations of aspiring wizards. The magical oak tree still stands in Willowbrook, reminding people of Harry's extraordinary journey. It serves as a symbol of hope, reminding everyone that dreams can come true with determination, courage, and a little touch of magic..
