Nas on Tour
Long regarded as one of the greatest rappers of all time, Nas offers audiences some of hip-hop's most powerful storytelling with classic, hands-in-the-air delivery. A live Nas set typically features both critical favorites and pop hits, including songs from his landmark 1994 LP Illmatic — perhaps one of the most acclaimed rap debuts of all time — and selections from the impressive 11 albums that followed. His evocative rhymes have been featured everywhere from New York's iconic Hot 97 Summer Jam to hip-hop package tour Rock the Bells to a performance at the Kennedy Center backed by the National Symphony Orchestra. Following the release of Nasir, a 7-song album executive produced by Kanye West, the lyrical titan will embark on a co-headlining tour with R&B legend Mary J. Blige.
Nas in Concert
Nas is considered by many to be one of the top five rappers, living or dead; he's a luminary beloved by rap royalty like Jay-Z, Kanye West, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole. Born Nasir Jones in 1973 (his father is jazz musician Olu Dara), he was raised in Queens, New York, at Queensbridge, a housing project whose deep role in hip-hop history would inspire his lyrics. Performing as the teenage MC Nasty Nas, he emerged with a spotlight-stealing guest verse on Main Source's 1991 single "Live at the Barbeque." Working with an all-star team of New York beatmakers (including DJ Premier, Pete Rock, Large Professor and Q-Tip) his debut album, Illmatic, was a critical sensation. In the 25 years that followed, Nas has released seven platinum solo albums, and one with supergroup The Firm alongside Foxy Brown and AZ. His empowering 2003 single "I Can," built on Beethoven's "Für Elise," broke the Top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100. Widely respected as a true hip-hop scholar and lyricist, he's appeared on songs with everyone from Run-DMC, Beastie Boys, Lauryn Hill and Kanye West to Amy Winehouse, Justin Bieber, Jack White and the National Symphony Orchestra.

Best concert ever. The level of the performance was through the roof.
Perfect blends of styles, music and stage time. Couldn't ask for a better time in a venue like first ave in MN.
Both Damian and nas were awesome. So was knaaan (opening act) highly recomended
Seeing Nas in concert for the first time was a dream come true for a 33 year old beautiful black woman who has been a fan of his since he was Nasty Nas!!!!!!......actually before that because I have always followed his music
Best concert ive seen in years. Nas is my all time favorite artist and Damian Marley is really coming along to be a superb artist. Two greats one stage, you cant beat that. Marley did all of his hits, Nas did half of Illmatic and more. Not to mention Nas's DJ Green Lantern was there. Great show words cant explain, you shouldnt have missed it.
One of the better shows I've attended in a while, Nas and Damian brought down the house.
Nas and Damian performed together at First Ave to promote their new album together, Distant Relatives, which was scheduled to release on June 23rd, but has yet to hit the stores. As disappointing as the push back was, Nas and Damian are both excellent live. Unfortunately there was no opening act, which left a friend of mine sitting around drinking from 8:30 to 10:30 with little entertainment.
Nas and Damien Marley were both fabolous and full of energy. They fed off each on stage and used each others songs and beats to make combine into a great entertaining show. I'm so glad I went and will absolutly go to another event held by either performer.
we waited for two and a half hours after door open to start the show, venue was packed, and nas and damian marley came on stage together, with less emphasis on their works as individual artists. live band was nice but their music was easily confused with the dj set. overall the show was alright, we left early and don't feel like we missed out.
Although Nas and Marley were ridiculously late, the show was absolutely amazing. I love that they didn't mess around with no-name openers, Nas just came out and started right away. They Kicked it off with some of their old hits, and then transitioned into the material they've been working on for their new album, distant relatives. absolutely fantastic.
I had mixed feelings when I heard these two were together but they didn't disappoint! They both had great sets except when NaS did "One Mic." That was his only bad song but it was also the song I was looking forward to the most. Overall I would definitely recommend it.
It couldn't have been better!!! I love Nas and I love 1st Ave.
Solid show. Even split among solo sets and collaborative set. Chemistry between the two is ridiculous. No performances by Nas of tracks from Untitled, though.
History In The Making. These two were great together
