(Contact Music) These days you need an edge when trying make your CD a blockbuster seller. Perhaps it's a silly feud between rappers? Or better yet, you can get all kinds of attention with a controversial name. That's the road Nas is taking according to this Contact Music report: NAS is set to test hot-button race issues in rap by naming his next album NIGGA. While many of his peers are apologising for using the 'N' word in past lyrics and refusing to use the derogatory term, the defiant I Can hitmaker is challenging the politically correct by using it to title his next release.
Nas told fans during a Friday night (12Oct07) show at New York's Roseland Ballroom, that he plans to release the album by the end of 2007. The album will be the follow-up to Nas' critically acclaimed Hip-Hop Is Dead album. - more on this story
