Nas on Tour
Long regarded as one of the greatest rappers of all time, Nas offers audiences some of hip-hop's most powerful storytelling with classic, hands-in-the-air delivery. A live Nas set typically features both critical favorites and pop hits, including songs from his landmark 1994 LP Illmatic — perhaps one of the most acclaimed rap debuts of all time — and selections from the impressive 11 albums that followed. His evocative rhymes have been featured everywhere from New York's iconic Hot 97 Summer Jam to hip-hop package tour Rock the Bells to a performance at the Kennedy Center backed by the National Symphony Orchestra. Following the release of Nasir, a 7-song album executive produced by Kanye West, the lyrical titan will embark on a co-headlining tour with R&B legend Mary J. Blige.
Nas in Concert
Nas is considered by many to be one of the top five rappers, living or dead; he's a luminary beloved by rap royalty like Jay-Z, Kanye West, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole. Born Nasir Jones in 1973 (his father is jazz musician Olu Dara), he was raised in Queens, New York, at Queensbridge, a housing project whose deep role in hip-hop history would inspire his lyrics. Performing as the teenage MC Nasty Nas, he emerged with a spotlight-stealing guest verse on Main Source's 1991 single "Live at the Barbeque." Working with an all-star team of New York beatmakers (including DJ Premier, Pete Rock, Large Professor and Q-Tip) his debut album, Illmatic, was a critical sensation. In the 25 years that followed, Nas has released seven platinum solo albums, and one with supergroup The Firm alongside Foxy Brown and AZ. His empowering 2003 single "I Can," built on Beethoven's "Für Elise," broke the Top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100. Widely respected as a true hip-hop scholar and lyricist, he's appeared on songs with everyone from Run-DMC, Beastie Boys, Lauryn Hill and Kanye West to Amy Winehouse, Justin Bieber, Jack White and the National Symphony Orchestra.

This show was so EPIC! I was finally able to see Nas the Living Legend in RARE form! What a phenomenal show full of energy and the best rhymes! Nas is the GOAT!
This concert was experience that my hubby will never forget. What A night and I'm glad Experience was top tier
This was an awesome show. This was my second time seeing Nas live on stage. He never disappoints. The Orchestra and Nas went well together. His is the G.O.A.T.
Everyone stood during the entire concert and when your short and the people in front of you are not only taller than you but are holding their phones up recording the entire concert all you get to see are their arms, hands and screen on their phones. We could not see the artist at all so it was just a waste of money. I could have just listened from the lobby and had the same experience. I guess concerts are not what they used to be. If you don't sit in the front or your not taller than 6 feet then don't go to these types of venues expecting to see the performance!
My husband and I absolutely loved this show! The Nevada Philharmonic and Nas, at surface, would seem like an odd pairing … but it absolutely worked and it was amazing!
The concert was fire! It was a beautiful theater in the Encore Wynn resort. Nas crushed it, was on point the whole night. The philharmonic orchestra was doing their damn thang! I’m so glad we were able to experience this concert live! Nas is the GOAT!!!!
Awesome show!! Nas killed it!! The symphony was AMAZING!!!
The show was amazing. I loved the Las Vegas Philharmonic, Haze (Nas drummer), DJ Green Lantern, and the rest of the band were spectacular! An amazing surprise guest from AZ, my mind was blown when they did a few of their songs together. And of course the man of the hour Nas was in “Rare Form”. This guy is a class act and gave a phenomenal performance! I didn’t want the night to end. Happy 30th Birthday to Illmatic!!
Nas with the orchestra was a classic electrifying fun filled concert.
Nas is in top form. Philharmonic was excellent. Some Vegas vibes thrown in the middle. Then a set just with Nas and his quartet. A very interesting way to stage a show - and it all worked. So glad we saw this in Vegas. One of the best concerts I've been to in a long time.
