Nope. There's no new album from "Nasty Nas," (besides an unreleased collab with Damian Marley) and he wasn't pleading Kelis to lower the support amount. Nas went to discuss gang violence.
Nas penned a letter addressing the murder of Chicago teen, Derrion Albert and stopped by 106th n Park to explain why.
When I wrote, I didn’t know who was reading,” Nas told "106" host Terrence J, while sitting on the couch. “I just wrote from the heart and said what I was feeling. I just feel like, ya’ll warriors, that’s what we are."
He continued, “Boys and girls growing up, whether you’re from Chicago, or from L.A. or, you know, New York, we’re warriors. We were born in a storm. It’s a lot of things out there that’s out to get us, traps out there and the reality of it is, it’s only us that’s filling up the prisons, man. So it’s like, how long can we just sit back and watch us being loaded up into prisons?"
"It bothers me, yo,” Nas shared. “We got at least three years and three months with Barack here and that’s enough time for us to figure out a lot of things out. See, all that stuff is kinda played out, killing each other. That’s played out.
“We’ve seen the movies, we’ve read the F.E.D.S. magazines, we know how the story ends, the Alpos and the Rich Porters and the dudes around my way the Supremes and all that, “ he added. “We know how the story ends if we not on the right track because there’s a lot of forces out there that’s trying to put us inside a jail or in an early grave other than ourselves, so why would we help that enemy out?”
Amen to that.
