MC SERCH IS SELLING HIS SHARE OF NAS’ CATALOG - INCLUDING ‘ILLMATIC’
MC Serch has started fielding offers for the sale of his ownership stake of Nas‘ catalog, which includes both the latter’s critically acclaimed debut and sophomore projects.
Serch, who had helped Nas land his deal at Columbia Records, served as the executive producer on Nas’ 1994 album, Illmatic. He reprised that role in 1996, helping to bring It Was Written to life.
“I have decided to sell all of the rights, including the global rights,” the 3rd Bass founder told AllHipHop. “I started conversations with several companies a few months ago. For 27 years, it has provided my family through good times and bad. Now it’s time for a new chapter.”
