Nas will perform at the Fox Theater on October 19th, in conjunction with a special screening of his documentary film, Nas: Time is Illmatic. This is a very special event where the film will screen followed by Nas performing Illmatic start to finish.
Nas: Time is Illmatic follows the trajectory of his 1994 landmark debut album, Illmatic. It traces Nas' influences and the insurmountable odds he faced in creating the greatest work of music from hip-hop's second golden era. The documentary is directed by multimedia artist, One9, written by Erik Parker, and produced by One9, Parker, and Anthony Saleh. The film was supported by The Ford Foundation's Just Films, Tribeca Film Institute's Tribeca All Access program, and Hennessy V.S. to help bring Nas' inspiring story of tireless pursuit of excellence to audiences nationwide.
Nas emerged from the Queensbridge neighborhood of Long Island City, a hotbed of rap artists since the 1980s. The son of jazz trumpeter Olu Dara, he has since gone on to sell over 20 million albums worldwide over the span of his legendary career, and has acted as an ambassador for hip-hop culture throughout the globe. Since the release of Illmatic, he has released 9 solo albums and three compilations all of which have been certified double-platinum, platinum and gold. Before Illmatic XX, his most recent release was 2012's Life Is Good, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200, marking the sixth #1 album that Nas has produced in his career. The collection also received four GRAMMY nominations bringing the rap icon's GRAMMY recognition count to 13 overall.
