This is Nas’s second video for the album Untitled, the first being “Be a Nig*er Too“ which we posted awhile back. The second video, “Hero”, features RnB songstress Keri Hilson singing the hook. The video is directed by Taj, past work includes LL Cool J’s “Rockin’ Wit Da GOAT” and Rihanna’s “Don’t Stop The Music” amongst others. The new album, Nas’s 9th studio album, will be in stores on July 15th. Off course the album has been leaked all over the internet and a recent video of Nas, shows that he actually supports the leak of the album, but nonetheless peoples should head out and cop this on July 15th.
First single and video off of LL Cool J’s upcoming album, Exit 13, which is expected to drop August 13th. The track name is “Rockin’ With The G.O.A.T” and video was directed by TAJ. Other singles expected to drop right now are “Cry”, “Rock The Pole” and “Champion”. Exit 13 will be his final album with Def Jam.
I can’t say that I’m stoked for this collabo. Retailer Sears has decided to follow in suit of its competition and launch their first designer collaboration apparel line. What’s a bit unexpected is that the “designer” will be rapper LL Cool J. I know. WTF?
According to WWD, LL Cool J for Sears will be a collection of “casualwear for juniors, young men’s, girls’ and boys’.” The pieces will roll out at 450 of Sears’ 900 stores in September, just in time for back to school and will range from about $22 for a graphic tee to $50 for a pair of jeans. Buyers can expect things like embroidered song lyrics on the back of tops.
And according to LL Cool J, he’s been preparing to do a women’s fashion line all his life. “I was raised by a matriarch, I have a wife and three daughters, so I know what women are looking for when they shop for clothes,” he said to WWD. “My main concern with juniors is to make sure the fit is right. The fabrics have to feel nice on a woman’s body, but sizing and fit are very important. I know that if she comes in, puts it on and it doesn’t fit, she won’t come back. Clothes have to make a woman feel good, relaxed and sexy. We are going to be constantly looking at fine-tuning the fit and we’ll get it right.”
