Nas is a veteran in the game, and he keeps his eyes and ears out for the new talent that continuously comes out. Of the latest crop of rappers to emerge on the scene, two stand out in a major way to the Queensbridge MC. See who they are below!

Nas co-signed both 21 year old raptress Azealia Banks and MMG’s Meek Mill!

Of Azealia:
“I fuck with that “212”. She has incredible star power, you can see it already. I think we need that. To come across the total package in this game, you need more than just a hot 16 and not everybody is blessed with the total package. She has it.”

On Meek Mill:
“I got my eyes on him. He’s the next one to take this shit over. I’m rooting for him. There are no more street orators in the game, who are fresh off the block and can tell us currently what’s going on. So you gotta appreciate him. We have to support Meek Mill’s movement because he’s talking about real life and if we don’t support that, then what are we doin’?”

That’s a pretty big co-sign for these two! Read more here.
