Nasir Jones
Angel · New York, New York, United States · 3 investments in United States Music startups

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 housing in 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.

Gregg Latterman
Angel · Kenilworth, Illinois, United States · 2 investments in United States Music startups

I've been fortunate to have spent the last 20 years helping make the careers of talented artists come alive. I was passionate about the bands I worked with, and I truly wanted to help them have the career they wanted and help them become huge. When I founded Aware Records in 1993 and later A-Squared Management in 1999, my goal was to discoverand elevate unsigned artists around the world. Years later, the list of artists I've signed and/or managed now includes household names like John Mayer, Train, Five for Fighting, The Fray, Brandi Carlile, Mat Kearney and many others. I wanted to reach more people in the next phase of my life so I decided to go back to school (at 45 years old) to earn a Master’s in the field of Positive Psychology under Dr. Martin Seligman at the University of Pennsylvania. Positive Psychology is about studying and learning how to be satisfied with the past, hopeful and optimistic about the future, and having flow and happiness in the present (Csikszentmihalyi & Seligman 2000).

Portfolio highlights

  • Luna Lights — Luna Lights consists of an ultra-thin pressure sensor that detects when a user gets out of bed and immediately turns on small, wireless lights around the home. When the user returns to his or her bed, the sensor turns the lights off automatically. Additionally, a software component collects data regarding the frequency and duration that an adult isout of bed at night. Our system sends a text notification to a caregiver if an older adult is out of bed for an unreasonable amount of time. It also allows caregivers to identify trends in nighttime trips and see which individuals are most at risk for falling.
  • Music Audience Exchange — MAX is powered by an insights engine that matches brands to artists and a proprietary marketing automation system for generating and distributing brand new music content to targeted audiences across audio, video, social, and live. The average American spends 35+ hours a week listening to music, which is no surprise because artists are constantlyreleasing new music and scheduling tours. People anticipate new releases, seek out live shows, and want to engage with their favorite artists on social — this creates a massive opportunity for marketers to brand the release of this new music.
