Hey Nasir, Say Cheese.
Hey Nasir, Say Cheese.
Another Braveheart Party.
No Slowing Down.
Still Free.
Esco, Let’s Go.
Although Nas turns 40 years old on Saturday, he celebrated his born day with Hennessy last night at Avenue nightclub in NYC. With DJ Mos and D-Nice on the turntables, guests included Mariah Carey, Jermaine Dupri, Maino, and Special Ed. Here’s film of him addressing his party goers.
Keeping his new late night gig in motion, Arsenio Hall invited God’s Son to his show. Closing out the evening, Esco gave a live rendition of track 9 off last year’s standout, Life Is Good.
Well here is something that’ll make both proud. From Stillmatic to Villematic, Esco and J.Cole take the second cover of VIBE‘s upcoming 20 anniversary issue. Read the cover story here.
Nas is like, half man-half amazing. Late last month, D.C. resident Stanley Young and his eight children lost their home to a fire. After learning of the Young’s misfortune, Nas stepped up and launched a donation page for the family.
Continuing his partnership with Hennessy Wild Rabbit’s campaign, Esco ventures down to Sau Paulo, Brazil for a music festival. One The Big Apple coming right up.
That blog post perfectly captured the raw intensity of Joell Ortiz’s performance at Guz Sports Bar! His delivery of Battle Cry was absolutely electric, making the whole room feel like it was vibrating with pure, unfiltered energy. It reminded me of those high-stakes moments during a intense word guessing game with friends where the pressure is on and every single syllable counts. Seeing such a lyrical powerhouse perform in such an intimate, gritty setting was a legendary experience. If you weren't there, you truly missed out on some masterful storytelling. I'm still buzzing from that incredible night of hip-hop excellence!
