Nas – “Another Black Girl Lost” (Prod. By Hit-Boy)
Nas follows up his now classic “Black Girl Lost” record with a ‘Black Girls Lost Part 2’ called “Another Black Girl Lost” produced by Kanye’s G.O.O.D. Music signed producer Hit-Boy. I like the original better & maybe the people over at the label felt the same way because this joint will not appear on Nas’s upcoming album “Life Is Good”.

Nas Speaks On The Controversy Involving The Promoter Who Was Kidnapped In Angola Africa (Video)
In case you haven’t heard about the situation involving the concert promoter & his son who were kidnapped in Angola for two months after Nas didn’t show up to perform, Nas finally breaks his silence on what really went down & why he didn’t attend that New Years Eve show. It’s clear that Nas was keeping his silence to protect the kidnapped promoter, but instead it appears as if he was throwing Nas under the bus. If this is true I don’t blame Nas for the way he handled things. No dough & no return flights?! I wouldn’t have hopped on the plane either. It’s sounding like another episode of “Janky Promoters”….the ‘International’ version. Handle your business promoters….
