Legendary emcee Nas headlined at New York’s Madison Square Garden for the first time.
During the sold-out performance, the top-tier hip-hop artist performed several of his a 34 song set including songs from his recent King’s Disease Trilogy including “27 Summers,” “Spicy,” and “Michael & Quincy.”
However, he also gave his older fans nostalgia with many of his classic bangers like “New York State of Mind,” “1 Mic,” and “If I ruled the World.”
To make the event even more of memorable, Nas was joined on stage by a handful of his past collaborators including Mary J. Blige on “Reminisce,” Slick Rick on “Hey Young World” and AZ on “Life’s A Bitch.”
