Nas Chronicles His Journey to Fame in 'Time Is Illmatic' Trailer
Legendary rapper Nas has released a trailer for his highly anticipated documentary, ‘Time Is Illmatic.’
Starting from the early days, the film will take viewers on a journey from Nas’ humble beginnings in Queens to the moment when he was signed to Columbia Records and ultimately recorded his classic 1994 album ‘Illmatic.’
From Nas’ father, jazz artist Olu Dara Jones, to producers and fellow artists like Pharrell Williams, Alicia Keys and Busta Rhymes, everyone speaks highly of the rapper and his influential album.
“I had a passion for music and that was going to be my out,” said Nas in the clip.
Making its premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year, Nas announced that he will take the film on the road and visit 14 cities in the fall. The tour will kick off in Rochester, N.Y., on Oct. 2 and wrap up Oct. 19 in Oakland, Calif.
Lil Herb Drops 'Fight or Flight Remix,' Featuring Common and Chance the Rapper
Soundcloud It’s both a Chicago affair and a meeting of conscious and street hip-hop on Lil Herb‘s remix to ‘Fight or Flight,’ featuring Common and Chance the Rapper.
Right off the bat Herb drops passionate bars about struggle and trying to survive his tough neighborhood.
“I’m from where mothers don’t care and babies get killed / Where you gotta rob and go steal for stomachs to fill,” he spits.
Common’s verse also paints a grim picture of what hood life is like in Chi-raq and uses some pretty stellar wordplay.
“The block gets hotter when the streets is dried up / We react like shottas when n—-s is fired up / On some James Brown s— I’ma’ take you higher / To say alive n—-s still living like ‘The Wire,’ he raps.
Chance the Rapper also delivers strong bars as well and goes into detail about coming up as a youth.
All three rappers bring a true grittiness to the song, while providing thought-provoking lyrics. It’s a feat rarely heard in today’s rap climate.
