Quick Bio
It’s been nearly two decades since Nas released lllmatic, the quintessential New York hip-hop record that turned a precocious Queensbridge corner kid into a rap god, almost overnight. Since then, Nas has been trying to live up to the towering standard he set for himself with his debut record, and the results have been mixed. As hip-hop migrated from the streets to the club, Nas often portrayed himself as an outsider, an angry poet warrior; a camo-clad savior whose call-to-arms approach often took precedence over what got him here in the first place: his music.
But Nas is 39 now, the survivor of a nasty public divorce with Kelis, and the father of two. He’s a grown up, and judging by the name of his last record Life is Good, adulthood suits him. We caught up with the living legend in Sao Paulo when we were guests of Hennessy at Lollapallooza. We had a chance to talk about being a dad, the best advice his father ever gave him, and where the ideal spot is to enjoy a glass of – you know it – Hennessy.
