Upcoming Tour: Nas & Lauryn Hill

22 Sep

This will be a moment to remember! I’m still in awe of the surprise performance Lauryn Hill gave on July 4th in Philly! Hip-hop icons Nas and Lauryn Hill are joining forces as Autumn approaches with a joint tour entitled, “Life Is Good/Black Rage.” Nas will kick off the tour on October 6 in Columbia, Maryland with a few solo shows and Hill will join the trek on October 29 in Dallas, Texas. The inspiration for the tour’s mantra came from Nas’ latest album, Life Is Good, which was #1 on the Billboard Charts and “Black Rage” is a new song Lauryn Hill is slated to release next month about the derivative effects of racial inequity and abuse. Hill explained, “I use the performance platform as an opportunity to express the energy of that moment, and the intention behind it. I’ve been a long standing rebel against the stale, over commoditization. As artists we have opportunity to help the public evolve, raise consciousness and awareness, teach, heal, enlighten and inspire in ways the democratic process may not be able to touch. So we keep it moving.” Nas added, “This is history…Better late than never. Life is good!” Tickets are available today!

New Song: Nas ft. Amy Winehouse “Cherry Wine”

5 Jul

I feel extra special being a Virgo amongst the music of two other Virgos that are simply the greatest in their genres. Nas and Amy Winehouse have joined spirits once again with the new collaboration of “Cherry Wine,” which is slated to appear on Nas’ 10th studio album Life Is Good, scheduled to hit stores on July 17th. Nas and Amy shared September 14th as their birthday and Winehouse’s remake of “Me & Mr. Jones” was reportedly done for Nas because she loved him so much. The Salaam Remi-produced track  premiered in the UK on BBC’s Radio 1. When Nas was asked about his dear friend, he replied, “I was devastated ’cause she was so full of life,” the hip-hop icon recently told Tim Westwood about her passing. “I still can’t even believe it. We all know she was going through a lot, but she just had a big spirit.” We miss you AMY! Rest in peace! Listen to their amazing chemistry below…
