Hot off the heels of the Cypress Hill and Ghostface Killah announcements, Nas is bringing his Illmatic tour to Australia. Given he’s been busy over the last few years working on 2012 and 2014 albums (he never sleeps – cousin of death and all that), the Illmatic tour comes as a particular treat for hip hop heads. It’s a celebration of his 1994 debut album of the same name, a classic of “conscious” hip hop and one of the very, very few albums rap bible The Source gave five stars. Nas plays MetroCity on Tuesday, January 27. Tickets from Oztix.
