Nas & Rising Son
"Thief's Theme" remix
Street's Disciple (U.K. edition)
(Columbia, 2004)
You can't beat fan pencils.

Nas held a contest to find a U.K. rapper who could hold his own on this remix. Out of 2,000 entries he picked Rising Son. Dunno nothing about him, but I like. (Though it could be delirium from the flu & a 100-degree fever that's making me dig it.)

Nas at So Urban:
Are there any English acts you like from the old school?
"I didn't know Loose Ends was from here! Also Phil Collins. And then, apart from Bob Marley and Marvin Gaye, Sade and Slick Rick are two of my favourite artists ever. "

How's that for street cred? Nasir big ups Loose Ends & Phil Collins! ("Yo, EMF is from here? Like, 'Unbelieveable' EMF? Get out!")
