Nas

Nas’ Illmatic season isn’t going to wan with the changing of the season. The official trailer for the upcoming documentary, Time Is Illmatic has just been released.

With the close of summer quickly approaching, there are still few quality festivals in the pipeline. One of which is ONE MusicFest, which will invade Atlanta for a fifth consecutive year on September 13 at Aaron’s Amphitheater at Lakewood.

Nas’ long running ambassadorship with Hennessy has allowed for some cool artistic exhibitions and the streak continued as actor Lance Gross unveiled his debut photography collection for Los Angeles to see.

Nas is going back on tour in support of the 20th anniversary run for his classic 1994 debut Illmatic. But the big difference between the upcoming shows and those from the past is that it will include a screening of the Time Is Illmatic documentary.

Nas’ Lollapalooza afterparty in Chicago began as a soiree to celebrate a great weekend, but ended with tragic results. A man by the name of Martrell Ross was fatally gunned down.

Although Nas is a veteran MC at this stage of the game, he still has lots to learn. The Queensbridge artist appeared on the PBS series Finding Your Roots, and discovered plenty regarding his family’s history.

While Nas is keeping it nostalgic for the American crowd residing stateside, he’s continuing to move fast forward during his current European Illmatic XX tour. God’s Son performed in front of frenzied crowd in Cologne, Germany as the country was obviously still empowered from their decisive 2014 World Cup win. To peak the audience’s energy […]

Nas has dedicated much of 2014 to making the 20th anniversary of his classic debut Illmatic. Since April, he’s premiered a documentary, performed at numerous big name shows, and now, he’s readying a visual for track nine, “Represent.”

Nas embarked on a global excursion this year to commemorate the 20th anniversary of his debut album Illmatic, performing it from top to bottom in select cities.

Nas has just signed West Coast rapper Fashawn to his newly launched Mass Appeal Records. And with that kind of backing, the Boy Meets World rapper goes to work on his long-awaited sophomore LP, The Ecology.

The stars were out in New Orleans over the July 4th holiday weekend for the 20th annual Essence Festival, an event that’s ordinarily a hotbed for R&B and Soul talent. But this year, during a 20th anniversary run for Illmatic no less, Nas was slated to represent Hip-Hop.

Major record labels have seen their approval rating bounce back since their late 00s down slide, but one should never underestimate the gall of a rapper.
