Nas ft. Keri Hilson - Hero

Nas ft. Keri Hilson - Hero

Universal must be very happy with this song because it is a single that they can actually promote and market - not saying that the new album for Nas titled 'Untitled' is bad; its just too geo-political-socially charged that I have a hard time seeing Universal Music Group pushing a lot of marketing dollars behind Nas' latest effort.

This song features Keri Hilson (Timbaland fame) and is produced by Polow Da Don - hit producer of such hits for Rich Boy, Young Buck, Young Jeezy, and others. Nas' albums usually don't have big time producers such as Polow as Nas likes to go for the grimier, dark, and more somber beats.



Of course we all know that Nas was suppose to name his album 'Ni****' but that would be too hard to get retailers such as Wal-Mart and HMV to go along with such a bold and emotionally-charged word. To check out the 'Ni****' mixtape though featuring some album tracks and other material, download it free here:

Nas drops 'Untitled' on July 15, 2008 and is no doubt to continue to spark debate and dialogue .... which hip-hop is supposed to do.
