Shortly after premiering his new single “The Don,” Nas debuted the track during a live performance at SXSW.
During the show, Esco ripped through the gritty cut, paying homage to the song’s co-producer Heavy D by projecting his picture on the wall. The gig also featured a live performance of Illmatic in its entirety.

People can hate on Nas all they want, but damn, he’s still one of the best MC’s behind a mic.
Wow!!
Wack ass performance from a wack ass rapper. Where’s Wayne when you need him??
100% REAL NIGGA, life really is good, I need to pre-order this shit
Illmatic is old. Focus on the new. Show your fans you still have the talent necessary to compete in today’s hip hop arena.
