Nas: Time is Illmatic Tour Dates Announced

New York rapper Nasir Jones announced earlier this week that he will be going on tour for his new documentary Nas: Time is Illmatic.

The year of 2014 has been for Nas as he has been celebrating the 20th anniversary of his debut album IIlmatic. In April, he released Illmatic XX, a remastered version of Illmatic. The album became on the most critically acclaimed albums of all time, ending up on every ‘Greatest Hip-Hop Album’ list. The album became platinum in 2001, 7 years after it’s debut.

Nas’ documentary first opened in April at the Tribeca Film Festival to positive reviews. While Time Is Illmatic shows us about the in’s and outs of the legendary album, it will also showcase the upbringing of Nas in Queens, NY.
