Nas, byname of Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones, also called Nasty Nas, (born September 14, 1973, Brooklyn, New York, U.S.), American rapper and songwriter who became a dominant voice in 1990s East Coast hip-hop. 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.

- Back to Basics Coop — Back To Basics CoOp is an initiative to help communities have direct involvement with the food they eat and the value of the land around them. Our goal is to have our members be in tune with the local food supply, the seasonal patterns of where we live, and have a hand in the growth of not only vegetables and fruits, but also the organic meat thatwe consume. A better understanding and a hands-on approach to the natural lifecycle can help our communities build responsibility and think of our food supplies in a more sustainable fashion.Initially our aim is to start with micro-farming on small plots of land, akin to a vegetable garden in a yard. As we grow in membership and find adequate property, we will expand to raising free-range chickens, producing eggs, and eventually even look into cattle farming and beef production.The essence of our venture is grounded in community building and social entrepreneurship. We plan to provide a low-risk path to utilize small investments of $10K to get nominal returns in the long term.
