Nas will continue the celebration of Illmatic’s 30th anniversary with a trio of orchestra-backed live performances in Las Vegas. Dubbed ‘Nas With the Las Vegas Philharmonic,’ the 3 day event will take place during Labor Day weekend at the Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas.
The Hip Hop legend gave a statement about performing in Las Vegas and how this experience will be one of the most unique performances of his career.
“Las Vegas has always served as a creative outlet for my music, and these performances will take that to the next level. I am excited to partner with the Las Vegas Philharmonic to bring this first-of-its-kind performance to Encore Theater and to showcase my music to my fans in Las Vegas in a whole new way.”
Nas’ debut album was released on April 19, 1994. Illmatic is widely regarded amongst hip-hop scholars and fans alike as one of the most significant bodies of work Hip Hop has ever produced. The impactfulness of this album led to its induction into the Library of Congress in 2021, one of only a handful of rap albums to earn that distinction. The rapper and businessman’s seminal album was credited with ushering in a new era of gritty New York street smart lyricism.
In April, the 50-year-old lyrical icon took to instagram to salute his collaborators on the album while also sharing a pair of vintage photos looking back at its creation.
“I had a dream I could get my favorite producers to produce on my debut album. I knew exactly what I wanted and how it should be. But I didn’t know anyone except for Paul, so I asked him would he connect me to them all. The cool soul brother that he is helped me line it up. On April 19th we smashed sh*t.”
Official album commemoration activities kicked last month as well. Nas has released a slew of new exclusive merchandise including crewnecks, hoodies, T-shirts, leather jackets and more. “The World Is Yours Rapper” also announced plans for a fifteen-date tour in Europe kicking off in Finland on October 22nd and ending in London on November 15th.
Tickets for ‘Nas With the Las Vegas Philharmonic’ will go on sale Friday (May 24) at 10 a.m. PT via Ticketmaster. Prices start at $69.95, plus applicable fees.

Usher’s My Way Residency at the Dolby Theater inside of the Park MGM in Las Vegas has been the talk of the town since it began in 2022. With countless viral moments from his serenading fans and celebrities with his sultry vocals and love songs, he has every woman wanting to be in the front row at this show. Some of the internet's favorite girls like Kim Kardashian, Issa Rae, Taraji P. Henson, Saweetie, Kimora Lee Simmons, and Winnie Harlow get the Usher treatment. But the most talked about moment of the residency so far has been with our good sis, Keke Palmer.
The “pop moment” as the Grammy Award-winning artist calls it, caused some controversy about boundaries in relationships online but he has not fallen into the trap of negativity. After weeks of silence Usher finally shared her perspective on what has been going down at his iconic shows in Las Vegas with People Magazine.
“Every night I’m thinking about how the world now is going to react to this moment that I’ll have with whoever I’m choosing to sing to… but it was a pop moment, and it was fun to have at least conversation going, and we just keep it light. I don’t see anything negative happening in Las Vegas.” -Usher
Keeping that momentum and positive energy flowing R&B superstar teased a new single called ‘Boyfriend’ yesterday on social media. Guess who the leading lady is? That's right, the one and only Keke Palmer. The trailer is only about 15 seconds showing glimpses of both artists in different spaces with no words or sound. Once you arrive at 0:10 seconds of the video, you hear Usher's memorizing voice say “I heard your boyfriend is looking for me”. It’s safe to say the internet wins again and we are getting some new music from the King of R&B out of it.

Las Vegas Police Conduct Search Warrant In Connection To Tupac Shakur Murder
Las Vegas police conducted a search warrant related to the long-dormant murder case of rapper Tupac Shakur, which could potentially unveil crucial information regarding the accomplice involved in the incident. We discuss it here!
By: Omar Cook
It’s been over 25 years since the murder of Hip-Hop icon Tupac Shakur and the mystery surrounding his death has led to countless conspiracies and speculation, but there may be a breakthrough coming. On Tuesday, July 18, the Las Vegas police conducted a search warrant related to the long-dormant murder case of rapper Tupac Shakur, as announced by the department.
"LVMPD can confirm a search warrant was served in Henderson, Nevada on July 17, 2023, as part of the ongoing Tupac Shakur homicide investigation," the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department stated, according to ABC News. "We will have no further comment at this time.”
In connection with the decades-dormant murder case of rapper Tupac Shakur, homicide detectives gathered sufficient evidence to execute a search warrant at a local Henderson home, as reported by investigators to ABC. Nevertheless, the specific purpose of the police search and the home's link to the case remain undisclosed.
The world of music was shaken on September 7, 1996, as news of a shooting incident involving the acclaimed lyricist spread throughout the world. Tupac Shakur, widely recognized for his roles in Juice andPoetic Justice, the multi-talented artist was attending a boxing match alongside Suge Knight in Las Vegas when the tragedy struck. While riding in a black sedan on Las Vegas Boulevard, a white Cadillac approached and unleashed a hail of gunshots, inflicting multiple gun wounds on the 25-year-old artist. Tupac was quickly transported to the hospital, but tragically, six days later, he succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased. Despite his untimely demise, Shakur's legacy continues to flourish with the release of numerous posthumous albums, books, documentaries, and films with the most recent project released being Dear Mama which is streaming on Hulu.
Since the incident, no suspect has been identified, resulting in minimal progress in the case. Many people have drawn connections between Shakur's death and that of rapper Notorious B.I.G., who also was killed in a drive-by shooting in Brooklyn six months later.
Just last month, Sekyiwa Shakur, Tupac's sister, graciously received a posthumous star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on her brother's behalf. Sekyiwa expressed the profound impact that Tupac had on the world in a heartfelt speech. “Tupac knew deep down that he was always meant for something great,” she stated. “And as his little sister, I had the privilege to watch that greatness unfold.”
During 2015, Las Vegas authorities disclosed to the Los Angeles Times that the investigation had hit a roadblock not due to insufficient evidence, but because "individuals in Shakur's entourage declined to cooperate" with the inquiry. However, after the recent execution of the search warrant, the gathered evidence will be brought before a Las Vegas grand jury. While law enforcement speculates that the primary gunman may have passed away long ago, investigators conveyed to ABC their optimism that this fresh evidence might provide leads to identify the gunman's collaborator.
Although authorities suspect that the primary shooter has likely passed away, investigators expressed to ABC their optimism that this recently discovered evidence could potentially unveil crucial information regarding the accomplice involved in the incident.
