TD Pavilion
On July 25, GRAMMY® Award–winning rapper Nas is teaming up with the GRAMMY Award–winning Philadelphia Orchestra at the TD Pavilion at the Mann.
Timeless poet and rhyme-master Nas delivered his first full-length album, Illmatic, in 1994. He went on to release 14 subsequent albums, eight of which are multi-platinum and platinum including Nastradamus, Stillmatic, God’s Son, and Street’s Disciple. With 16 GRAMMY nominations, Nas released King’s Disease in 2020, giving him his first-ever GRAMMY win for “Best Rap Album,” and released King’s Disease II, a sequel to the GRAMMY Award–winning album, produced by Nas and Hit-Boy. Most recently, Nas released the third installment of the King’s Disease series. With no features, King’s Disease III was produced by Hit-Boy and executive produced by Nas and Hit-Boy. Most recently, they released Magic 3, featuring 15 brand new tracks, also marking the final chapter of the legendary run for the prolific rapper-producer duo. Magic 3 serves as the duo’s sixth album together in the last three years and serves as the third installment to the Magic series.
Legendary hip hop mogul, co-founder of Mass Appeal Records, actor, and executive producer Nas has an extensive catalog that speaks for itself.
