Nas reflects on his legacy, police brutality and racism in new in-depth short film 'Nasir': Watch
Earlier this year, Nas released his Kanye West-produced album 'Nasir'. His first album in six years, 'Nasir' opened to mixed reviews but dealt with some heavy hitting themes as the NYC rapper touched upon the current political landscape, racism, egalitarianism and police brutality.
Now, after teasing a new visual, Nas has dropped an accompanying 16-minute short film to go with the album. Fans initially believed a solo music video would arrive this week, but the Queensbridge native decided to go a step further and deliver an in-depth visual telling of the story of the latest studio effort. The iconic MC collaborated with director Rohan Blair-Mangat -- who penned and directed the film -- and Mass Appeal on the project. Blair-Mangat notably worked on JAY-Z's video for the 4:44 track 'Bam'.
