Get ready, NAS is coming to Honolulu! This concert should be awesome! Click Here to find a hotel for your stay! Great atmosphere and a sure to be great performance from King of east coast rap! While there is much controversy as to who the king of east coast rap is, there is no denying that Nas is a top contender. His flow is out of control! With a well established career beginning in 1994, Nas has never failed to deliver. Since the tragic death of east coast rapper Notorious B.I.G. only two artists have risen up to proclaim his title: Nas and Jay Z.

Notorious B.I.G was murdered on March 9, 1997 as a result of an east coast west coast feud with rapper Tupac Shakur. Although Nas had a self proclaimed rivalry with Biggie, both artists were linked positively to him. Nas and jay Z started out as potential collaborators, but fate took another turn. Although the rivalry between Jay Z and Nas has been long, they have always made sure to keep the heat on the records and off the streets. With songs like “Ether” and “Stillmatic” Nas has used his lyrical talent to take jabs at Jay Z. Jay Z has answered back with “People talking”, and “The Takeover”.

Nas has seemed to be flying under the radar while his rival Jay Z has been flying high! With a new marriage to pop star Beyonce Knowels and pictures of them in the white house, Jay Z has been basking in the spotlight. Nas, on the other hand, has divorced his artist wife Kelis and been keeping a low profile. It is good to see Nas getting back into the mainstream. Mainstream media, that is. Nas has always prided himself with having an underground edge and not selling out to the masses. And, in true Nas form there will also be a tribute mural being painted during the concert. Nas will be performing with Shady Records Dj Green Lantern at the Waterfront at Aloha Tower Marketplace on March 19, 2010!
