CITY THE GREAT
THE GREAT RESET
The Highly Anticipated New Album • Fully Produced by Black Nailz
Dropping July 25, 2026
WELCOME TO THE RESET
Real hip-hop never left; it just needed a total systemic overhaul. Certified Nation Entertainment, in alliance with Beatz & Barz, presents The Great Reset—a monumental lyrical statement engineered to shift the culture back to its rightful foundations. This elite standard is independently amplified and distributed globally by 440 Artists powered by REVOLT.
To achieve a true paradigm shift, the sonic architecture is crafted entirely by legendary platinum producer Black Nailz—famed for his extensive history alongside Dr. Dre and Eminem, including his blistering production on Eminem's record-breaking hit "Favorite Bitch featuring Ty Dolla $ign ." Together, City the Great and Black Nailz build an ironclad wall of classic boom-bap rhythms, razor-sharp storytelling, and flawless penmanship.
The Great Reset features a heavy-hitting roster of guest appearances from standard-bearers across the map, including explosive collaborations with Ishadon, G. Dep & Olmanyoung, Ivery Da Goddess, and a masterful vocal display alongside Sly Pyper.
