The son of jazz trumpeter Olu Dara, he has since gone on to sell over 20 million albums worldwide over the span of his legendary career, and has acted as an ambassador for hip-hop culture throughout the globe. The first full-length album by the poet and rhyme-master Nas arrived in 1994, the RIAA platinum Illmatic. Since then he has released nine solo albums and three compilation albums that have been certified double-platinum, platinum or gold  His most recent release was 2012’s Life Is Good, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200, marking the sixth #1 album that Nas has produced in his career. The collection also received four GRAMMY nominations bringing the rap icon’s GRAMMY recognition count to 13 overall.

Hailing from Queens NY, DJ Envy is one of the hottest DJs around and is one of three hosts of the syndicated radio show The Breakfast Club with Angela Yee and Charlamagne Tha God on NYC's Power 105. He is also a MTV2 VJ for The Week in Jams.
