Nas, Talib Kweli Rock The Bells In Miami
So he didn't get to name his album the title he wanted. The word is that Nas' new album boasts excellent material along with an endorsement from Bill O'Reilly which is the sound of a cash register ringing to most hip-hop labels.
Nas will appear in Miami on August 2 as part of the Rock The Bells Festival. Check out our interview with Q-Tip regarding the Fest in REAX issue #26, on stands now.
From Brooklyn Vegan:
Influential and often controversial multiplatinum New York rapper Nas (Nasir Jones) has announced his full summer tour schedule, in support of his untitled ninth studio album. Produced by Guerilla Union (Rock the Bells, Paid Dues), THE JONES EXPERIENCE--"a big show in an intimate venue," as described by Nas--will feature him along with special guests Talib Kweli, Jay Electronica and DJ Green Lantern performing in small clubs across North America. The 21-date tour kicks off Tuesday, July 22 in Montreal and wraps up Labor Day weekend in Minneapolis. The shows will take place in between Nas' previously announced appearances on this summer's Rock The Bells 2008 International Festival Series, which will also feature Jay Electronica and DJ Green Lantern.
