It’s been four years since Nas’ last solo album. But now the drought is over and his 10th studio LP, Life Is Good will be released on July 17th. His next single “Daughters” produced by No I.D. will be out next week (May 1st). And “The Don” video debuts this Friday.

Football season is almost here. And to coincide with this year’s NFL draft next Thursday, Nasir suits up and delivers his guest spot on Blues musician Gary Clark Jr.’s track.
