Nas: God's Son getting cinematic with his 'Sitting With My Thoughts' music video is a Thursday flex
What better way to channel your inner and outer Throwback Thursday than with the living rap icon Nas and a super vintage with a modern twist ‘Sitting With My Thoughts’ music video?
Low-key? I wanted to run this yesterday but what better way to let it glow than having full-fledged Video of the Day appreciation? The only way to properly salute Nasir Jones. Happy pre-Friday!
GRAMMY-Award winning rap legend Nas dropped the music video for “Sitting with My Thoughts” off his latest album Magic 3 —watch it HERE! Directed by Leff, the video goes behind the scenes of the second Leg of his widely successful, co-headlining NY State of Mind Tour with Wu-Tang Clan, and special guest De La Soul.
Magic 3 notably marked the final chapter of Nas and Hit-Boy’s legendary run for the prolific rapper-producer duo.Magic 3 also serves as the duo's sixth album together in the last 3 years and serves as the third and final installment to the Magic series. Listen to Magic 3 HERE.
King’s Disease was the pair's first trilogy; with both the first and second King’s Disease albums receiving GRAMMY Award nominations for Best Rap Album, and garnering Nas his first ever GRAMMY Award for King’s Disease in 2020!
