Nas To Release Album Before Year’s End

NasAlmost a year since the release of his last album, “Hip-Hop Is Dead,” rapper Nas has announced an upcoming LP which may hit stores before the year’s end.

The Queensbridge artist recently told MTV News that the album, currently untitled, is halfway completed, and he expects to drop its first single sometime in October.

“I can’t reveal it yet,” Nas replied when asked about the album’s title.

“But if you remember, the original name for ‘Hip-Hop Is Dead’ was ‘N*gga.’ It was ahead of its time. [When the news leaked], Def Jam immediately went out there and said I was being facetious. But that was the name of my album.

“I don’t be out there with everybody. But I want them to know I’m heavily involved. That’s why I do the titles I do. ‘Hip-Hop Is Dead’ was a great substitute. It was perfect timing for that joint.”


No word yet on featured producers – although he disclosed that Black Eyed Peas’ Will.I.Am will not appear on the album, despite his previous work on ‘Hip-Hop Is Dead.’

When asked about DJ Premier, Nas replied: “Who knows?”

In related news, Nas is also gearing up a “Greatest Hits” album scheduled to drop in November.

Nas is in my top 5, but his albums are all over the place. 'illmatic' and 'it was written' have one unified sound throughout the album, but everything else he's done don't hit as hard. He always has 3 certified classic songs, and then a bunch of wack stuff.

Yeeeeaaaaahhh!!!!!!!!!! im so excited, i love this dude man, i thank god for nas, he is the dopest and the realeast lyricist alive, mayne nas baby im glad you havent decided to rest yet because hip hop is alive as long as theres true artist out there like you thats keepin it alive. Please dont ever go commericial or mediocre on your fans we love your music because it speaks on who you are as a person and your beliefs...like you said "you represent the pain and the struggle." and this world is just that...

Nas is my favourite mc along with rakim but i doubt he´ll release a new album this year...i hope i´m wrong but i really doubt it...but if this is true then he should work with premo again....that "who knows" means something...

Yo im so glad that nas has a new joint soon cuz he is the last remainging true lyricist left and he does not get the respect he deserves and cuz nowadays there are very few quality artists.nas is in a league of his own and one of the greatest ever.i hope he has premo on bcuz they have such good chemistry

Maaan! nas is my all time favorite. I got all his albums ever made. For all the haters out there, hip-hop was dead, until weezy and my n*gga 'ye brought it back. Nas is #1
