Nas Going Independent with Mass Appeal Records

[MMM]

Definitely, he won't be forced to release a "Hero" to appeal to the masses (no pun intended). also he seems to be going for his own audience rather than the mainstream

hero is fire

 

[Big Mark]

I'm under the impression that Sony is simply the distributor. Smart that there is some collaboration with Sony though. It makes it that much easier to access older masters for his Lost Tapes series and maybe more.

LT2 This is huge and should be stickied

 

[Mandizi]

Good news, Nas is better off going indie at this stage of his career. Can't wait to hear LT2 and the new studio lp later this year.

 

[Non Sequitur]

That Pimp C album though...

 

[infamousred]

so this is real? lost tapes 2???

 

[Wild self]

Glad that he made it this far. I thought he has one last album with Def Jam this year before he moves on.

 

[KENNY DA COOKER]

So how was he able to get out of his Def Jam deal when he still had 2 albums to go?

Nas will become an independent act once his recording contract with Def Jam expires.
Nas will become a Mass Appeal Records artist once his Def Jam Recordings contract expires, according to Billboard.

did you even read thee article sir,it says "Sony CEO"

just cause thee new branch of thee tree is named after Mass Appeal doesn't make it "independent"..

it would've been dope if Nas had gone truly independent,he could have 100% creative control and sell just off name alone..but tis his life&choice

i'll still check for his album dough..however,having Future&ASAP Mob on a record named after Mass Appeal

then again some say Guru was bi sexual,i choose to believe it twas slander but maybe i'm just viewing his legacy with colored lenses..

hero is fire

I refuse to give it a second listen . . you might be right





. . or a huge Nas fan?

Thank GOD Nassir smartened up. Literally this may be the first label where every album they release is an automatic cop.

Lost tapes 2?

Pimp C new album?

New Nas album?


We're not worthy.....

Easily one of Nas's greatest songs. That last verse was so fukking POTENT! Just broke down the entire music industry!
