Meeting Nas

Okay, I'm not really familiar with the American Rapper Nas -unlike Eminem, 2pac or Busta Rhymes. But this morning, I get the opportunity of meeting him. Oh well, that's a notch exaggerated but what I meant was I get to learn about him.

Born two days short of my birthday (and four years earlier), Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones is the son of jazz musician Olu Dara. He then goes by the stage name Nasty Nas or Nas Escobar and later, Nastradamus.

His debut album Illmatic, which was released in 1994, was regarded as one of the best hip-hop albums of all time. It also featured production with no less than his father Olu Dara.

In the citaaay of good ol' Watts
In the citaaay, the city of Compton
We keep it rockin! We keep it rockin!”
