“Sorry” is a one-off that Nicki Minaj did with Nas that did not make the “Queen” LP. Making its way around the Interwebs fast. Snatched a copy off the superhighway (Flex’s tube) for you to review.

Nas – “NASIR” (Album Stream)
June 18, 2018
Of course, you heard about it… but have you actually heard the “Nasir” album. It’s 7 songs, so you might argue for the ‘EP’ stamp but they’re calling it an album (Nas and Kanye West) so let’s stick with that for now. Is it dope though? Listen and decide.
Dave East – “NYCHA” feat. Nas
May 19, 2018
Likely get into that “Rapture” on Netflix later. But now, gotsta get into this new jawn from Dave East and Nas off the soundtrack. Because… BANGER!

Large Professor Talks About The Making Of Nas’ Classic “It Ain’t Hard To Tell” (Video)
February 3, 2018
Wow. It’s 24 years since “It Ain’t Hard To Tell†dropped. Large Professor did the beat with a ‘New York State Of Mind’ – a mind firmly focused on Queens.
We were heavy New York, so we weren’t thinking about the globe… We do what we do, and we put it down. And we’re just thankful that the world received it and loved it.
– Large Professor
That NY-minded track that the G.O.D.M.C. Nassir would lyrically bless would eventually bubble worldwide.
Watch above, as LargePro speaks on it.

Nas x Dave East x Lin-Manuel Miranda x Aloe Blacc – “Wrote My Way Out†(Video)
January 24, 2018
Wow. The song for “Hamilton: An American Musical” (salute to Lin-Manuel). So they made a video for this joint? Makes sense. With Nas, Dave East, and Aloe Blacc joining Lin-Manuel Miranda… this kind of Hip-Hop was meant to be theatrical! Plus, when the track is a banger, folks ought to get a visual (esp. when there’s a Broadway hit attached).

Dave East – “The Hated” feat. Nas (Prod. By Joe Joe Beats) [Video]
January 19, 2018
Dave East talk that talk! Streets need that.
– Nas
A real benefit to being on a label where Nas is a bigwig… you get them co-sign features from the G.O.D.M.C. Not saying this is not dope beyond that; but Nassir’s contribution helps Dave East take this beyond (it’s the little things)! Get this banger on the “Paranoia” LP out now.

Watch The PBS Teaser For The “Nas: Live from the Kennedy Center” Documentary (Trailer)
January 13, 2018
This is when you appreciate what an ARTIST like Nas means to Hip-Hop – to rap and music in general. As soon as you say ‘Kennedy Center’ in your mind and think of who would rep the culture and rock that joint right, Nas ought to show up at the top of a relatively short list. LEGENDARY! And there will be PBS coverage of the event. Plus a documentary on the whole happening and events leading up to it.
Two decades after the album’s critically-acclaimed release, Hip-Hop artist Nas teamed up with the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, to stage a symphonic rendition of “Illmatic,†one of the most revered albums in Hip-Hop history. The new concert film Great Performances — Nas Live From the Kennedy Center: Classical Hip-Hop captures the energy and nostalgia of this collaborative performance and premieres nationwide Friday, February 2 at 9 p.m. on PBS (check local listings).

July 11, 2017
To be honored by one’s peers has to be one of the fondest wishes of many an artist across genres. Emceeing is an art. And when a G.O.D.M.C. shouts out a Prodigy R.I.P. and rocks a crowd to the Mobb Deep joint… Chokes me up. Nas. Bless!

May 19, 2017
Making the HBO soundtrack for the “Silicon Valley” series kind of puts Nas and DJ Shadow on the path to must-drop-music-video for their jawn “Systematic,” doesn’t it? Well, if you peeped above you already know that question was rhetorical.

Charlie Musselwhite & Nas Speak On The Music Of The 1920s And Of Today (Teaser Trailer)
May 15, 2017
They were rapping about street life and gangsta life…
Nas, Speaking On “On the Road Again†By Memphis Jug Band
A great look for PBS, this episode of “American Epic Sessions” features Charlie Musselwhite (of Memphis Jug Band) and Nas. That line from Greg Nice comes to mind: This is how we take the old to the new. Hear Nas speak on the timelessness and relevance of Musselwhite’s music. And see a bit of the performance of Nas’ cover of “On the Road Againâ€
(Hip-Hop flavor from the 1920s. Cool!)
