The 10th album by Nasir Jones will be talked about for three main reasons.

First, it's his final release for Def Jam. Secondly, the cover features him holding his ex-wife Kelis's wedding dress. Thirdly, it features "Cherry Wine", an unheard Amy Winehouse duet created posthumously. However, Life is Good has much else to recommend it and it proves once again that Nas is one of the smartest and most skilled players in the game.
