Nas returns with his legendary mic skills as sharp as ever, and takes today's young rappers back to school. 'Hip Hop is Dead' features production and guest appearances from Jay-Z, Kanye West, Kelis, Snoop Dogg, The Game and Will i am.
Throughout his storied career - which began with 1994's classic 'Illmatic' and has spanned the last decade with over 12 million albums sold - Nas has been more than just the genre's foremost lyricist and thinker. He has become a statesman, some would argue Hip Hop's "conscience."
Now, with the release of his long awaited Def Jam debut - the aptly-titled 'Hip Hop is Dead' - Nas returns to #1 on the Billboard Charts and to his role as mentor and teacher, his legendary mic skills as sharp as ever, and takes today's young rappers back to school. The lesson? Hip Hop - as Nas sees it - is very much alive.
'Hip Hop is Dead' features production and guest appearances from Jay-Z, Kanye West, Kelis, Snoop Dogg, The Game and Will i am.
