Nas is back and more controversial than ever on his new untitled Def Jam release. On this, his 9th studio album, Nas studies and lyrically dissects some of the our most divisive issues: race, inequality, poverty, and power. And who better to stir up debate than the man most consider one of the top five emcees in the history of the game? from his brilliant 1994 debut ILLMATIC, to his mainstream success with IT WAS WRITTEN, to anthems like "Hate Me Now and "One Mic" and his venomous lyrcisim on "Ether," Nas' ability to tell stories, educate, make you dance and make you dig the stuff of rap legend.
