Nas has released NASIR – The Film, a new 16-minute short film soundtracked by songs from his 2018 album of the same name. Essentially an extended music video, the film was written and directed by Rohan Blair-Mangat (who previously helmed JAY-Z’s video for the 4:44 cut “Bam”). In addition to Nas himself, the Nasir film stars Slick Rick, Demarius Mack, and others. Watch the full thing below.

In September, Nas appeared on “Colbert” to perform the song “Adam and Eve.” Read “24-Carat Black Were Sampled by Pusha-T, Kendrick Lamar, Nas, JAY-Z—And They’re Still Broke” over on the Pitch.
