About Nas

Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones, known to one and all as Nas, is one of hip-hop’s best-known and most mercurial figures. Since his heart-stopping debut turn on Main Source’s “Live at the Barbeque”, Nas has delivered countless beautifully structured, thought-provoking, keenly observed verses

He has also had his share of misfires over the years, getting caught up in personas and groups that made less-than-ideal use of his considerable talents

But for every head-scratching move, Nas comes back with a song or a verse that reminds fans that he’s still the same Queensbridge guy who crafted one of the greatest albums of all time, Illmatic
