Nas built a reputation as an expressive chronicler of inner-city street life.Nasir Jones, the son of a jazz musician, grew up in public housingin Queens, New York. He dropped out of school in the eighth grade and searched for a creative outlet, finally settling on hip-hop. His breakthrough came in 1992, when his song “Half Time” (credited to Nasty Nas) appeared on the sound track to the film Zebrahead. Columbia Records soon signed him to a contract. His debut recording as Nas, Illmatic (1994), drew widespread acclaim for its poetic narration of hard-edged inner-city life.The more pop-oriented approach of It Was Written (1996) helped that album reach an even wider audience than its predecessor but ignited a recurring tension in Nas’s career between the appetite of the pop audience and the demands of hip-hop purists. He maintained his commercial appeal with I Am... (1999), although by that time he had also become embroiled in a public feud with fellow rapper Jay-Z over which of the two was the preeminent voice in East Coast hip-hop. The schism inspired Stillmatic (2001), which many fans considered a return to form. The two rappers publicly settled their differences in 2005, and shortly thereafter Nas signed with Def Jam, of which Jay-Z was president at the time.Nas’s penchant for provocation marked Hip Hop Is Dead (2006) and an untitled follow-up (2008), while Life Is Good (2012) struck an introspective tone. He also notably collaborated with reggae musician Damian Marley (the youngest son of Bob Marley) on the album Distant Relatives (2010).Nas also made occasional film appearances, notably in Belly (1998), a crime drama in which he starred opposite rapper DMX, and Black Nativity (2013), an adaptation of Langston Hughes’s gospel play. ## Uniservices - Type: VC Fund - Relevant deals: 1 - Stages: Seed, Pre-Seed - Focus: Medical Device, SaaS, Audio Auckland University's commercialisation arm ## Airtree Ventures - Type: VC Fund - Location: Paddington, Western Australia, Australia - Relevant deals: 1 - Stages: Seed, Series A, Series B - Focus: Software, SaaS, Information Technology AirTree is a venture capital firm investing in Australian and New Zealand technology founders from seed stage or earlier. ## Harald McPike - Type: Angel - Location: Nassau, New Providence, Bahamas - Relevant deals: 1 - Stages: Seed, Series A, Series D - Focus: Software, FinTech, Analytics Harald McPike is a successful quantitative trader and global private investor. ## Polygon Studios - Type: VC Fund - Relevant deals: 1 - Stages: Seed, Series A, Pre-Seed - Focus: Blockchain, Gaming, Software Polygon is the most proven way to build and scale your decentralized application and projects on Ethereum, the world's largest blockchain ecosystem. ## Dialectic - Type: VC Fund - Location: Zug, Zug, Switzerland - Relevant deals: 1 - Stages: Seed, Series A - Focus: Blockchain, Cryptocurrency, Gaming Dialectic combines machine intelligence with crypto-native primitives to build superior financial compounding machines.
