这几年来英美两地的Hip Hop乐坛好象都是各自为政，很少有互相交流的情况出现，美国饶舌歌手Nas决定成为英美Hip Hop大使，向英国地区征召有潜力的Hip Hop新秀来加入他新专辑《Streets Disciple》的录音工作。
Nas与他所属的Sony唱片公司在网站上放了一首新歌Thief´s Theme的乐器演奏录音，他们邀请有兴趣在Nas专辑中露脸的英国或爱尔兰地区的饶舌歌手把演奏下载下来，然后把自己创作的歌词以及人声表演加进去，再寄给唱片公司，Nas会在所有参赛者中选出一位优胜者，加入《Streets Disciple》其它歌曲的表演，让有潜力的新人获得初试啼声的机会。

美国东岸说唱传奇Nas公开与超级制作人Hit-Boy的合作专辑《King's Disease》的具体信息，这张新专辑将在8月21日正式发行。

Japanese version featuring a bonus track: 'Silent Murder'

《God´s Son》被期待能够成为一张起着关键的转折性作用的唱片。它的前5首歌曲延续了Nas在《Illmatic》中的风格：犀利的歌词，急速的背景音乐效果，并配合以融化了的巧克力般的嗓音。朴实无华的采样很适合Nas，他的说唱风格源自old school的RAP类型。他极少会像在开头歌曲《Get Down》中表现的那么激烈，声音那么华丽繁杂。《Made You Look》的取样来源于Deep Funk界泰斗Incredible Bongo Band的《Apache》，经过一番编排显得生机勃勃、给人以新鲜感。《The Cross》由Eminem创作。
专辑中值得一提的作品还有《Warrior Song》，它展现了与他合唱的Alicia Keys已经不仅仅是个超级明星，而且决定要在hip hop音乐中占据一席之地。《Book Of Rhymes》则是一个新的概念，Nas令人讨厌至极的不停翻看一本被遗忘的笔记本，直到最后找到线索之前他都在喋喋不休。《Thug Mansion (NY)》中他与Tupac Shakur在两把吉他的伴奏下一起演唱。《Dance》则是Nas唱给母亲的安魂曲，她在2001年四月死于癌症。
最出色的歌曲是《Last Real N**** Alive》，用的是一种具有启示作用的写作形式。他把我们带回1993年的Wu-Tang，在如今每个人都大喊大叫说别人抄袭了自己想法的时代，Nas承认自己借用了这两个人的音乐风格。当我们回顾他的道路，就会发现他的每一步都经过了深思熟虑。
这张专辑有着无穷的魅力，其中的歌曲足以令人相信Nas绝对可以被列入hip-hop历史中最杰出的艺人之一。它并不是无懈可击，但的确是才华横溢。

Nas has announced King’s Disease II, a “sequel” album to his Grammy-winning LP King’s Disease that he released last August. The new album will be released on August 6th at midnight EST via Mass Appeal Records.

International Hip Hop superstar Nas and Grammy-winning artist Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley join creative forces to release this highly anticipated and exciting 2010 collaboration. This is an album created by the two serious artists to explore and celebrate the correlations and deep-rooted connections between reggae and Hip Hop, tracing both sounds back to the African motherland that is both the cradle of humanity and the wellspring of mankind's music. The project features the signature instrumentation and musicianship of Marley with the hard-hitting beats and lyrics of Nas. Distant Relatives traces the direct line from Dancehall Reggae's breakthrough moment 40 years ago to the rise of Hip Hop several years later.

Illmatic is the debut studio album by American rapper Nas. It was released on April 19, 1994, by Columbia Records. After signing with the label with the help of MC Serch, Nas recorded the album in 1992 and 1993 at Chung King Studios, D&D Recording, Battery Studios, and Unique Recording Studios in New York City.
