Yes, Nas is already a world renowned MC, Grammy Award-nominated artist, actor and co-founder of Mass Appeal Records, but now we can add author to his list of accomplishments.
On Thursday (June 13), the Queens-bred Hip Hop aficionado headed to Instagram where he announced he was releasing a children’s book called I Know I Can featuring illustrations from Michael Lukowski. He also revealed Mass Appeal was launching a new children’s brand, MAJR.
“@MassAppeal launches @MAJR our kids brand,” he wrote in the caption. “My first book is on the way.”
According to the MAJR website, the company is part of a series “empowering kids to be whatever they want to be when they grow up.”
Its mission statement reads: “Our mission is to inspire future generations through the creation of unique toys, apparel, and innovative learning tools. Major is here to reflect the diverse hues of both the modern family and popular culture, because education starts in the crib.”
I Know I Can is a reference to Nas’ 2003 song “I Can” from his God’s Son album. No release date for the book has been announced.
G to the A to the Y
Is that what you’re supposed to be?
Are you? Tell us all…

Yeah, Nas, you’re part of the problem. Selling shit to kids that they don’t need doesn’t empower nobody but your damn ban account. STFU.
You’ve probably only listen to 2 songs that nas has that isnt empowering. All other songs he is putting out lines about our society how we treat eachother how other people take advantage of others and how no one is guiding these kids right especially you cause this is a positive moment and should not be met with negative remark. Be part of the the solution not the problem. No one is perfect but you cant knock someone for making a difference. No matter what back ground culture or race. One world one peace one love
He’s releasing a children’s book for Christ’s sake, I swear a commenter can hate on anything in the universe ?
A hater will never get any praise from the man above. He hears and recognize the hate in your heart. Young man… learn the word LOVE. Nas continues to be blessed by the Lord. Remember, he sent his only son to help his People. Nas is helping his People!!! Learn young man learn!!!
Knowledge,Power and Respect! #Nas
Sell something positive…I love it…we have enough garbage polluting the kids’ minds already
I want to read it. Nas is always about our people. He talks facts. I can see only people who wouldn’t have anything nice to say about his book or himself would have to be a red neck. Nas is a powerful speaker. We need more music like his and more people to rap positive other then Nas and 2’Pac. I’m reading. Owning mine’s. Big ups to Nas.
our people?? Racism on another level
So you can’t “say our people” anymore ? Is Trump then racist?
It’s clear people hate regardless. A rapper who has spread positivity throughout his career, never taken a beef to the streets releases a children’s book and people criticise. I wonder what you really have going on in your lives with all that hate for every article and every artist. That’s pure jealousy.
