Last night in the city, former Rolling Stone and New York Times writer Anthony DeCurtis was granted an exclusive rare interview with Nas. Declared the hip-hops finest emcee of all time by CNN; the crowd in attendance at the “92Y: Cultural Institution and Community Center” in Manhattan got a rare glimpse into the life of NaS as he went through his rap career time line starting with his childhood in Queens.
Escobar touches on his early demo days and being influenced by older associates around his projects but wanting to create his own sound in his first years with Main Source. Nas also goes into big detail about the creation process behind his latest #1 album “Life is Good” along with touching on “Hip-Hop Is Dead,” the current climate of music and accepting all aspects and duality of rap.
