Over Labor Day weekend, Nas commemorated the 30th anniversary of his debut studio Illmatic with a residency at Wynn Las Vegas, where he performed alongside the Las Vegas Philharmonic.
The rapper has announced that he’ll be extending his residency, returning to Las Vegas in February to deliver three more shows blending rap and classical music.
On stage on August 31, Nas teased his return: “I could get used to doing this Vegas thing. I might extend it.”
Nas’ Illmatic was released in April 1994 and became a defining album in East Coast hip-hop.
Taking place at Wynn’s Encore Theater, the shows are set for February 5, 7 and 8. Tickets will go on sale to the public this Friday, September 13.
