Nas Pushes New Album Back

Nas has delayed his new untitled disc two weeks, from July 1 to July 15. In case you're worried about this happening again, the rapper has revealed the album's cover (an intense shot of Nas' whip-scarred back) and a few more song titles, including "Black President" (produced by DJ Green Lantern), "N.I.G.G.E.R. (The Slave and the Master)" (produced by DJ Toomp), the Busta Rhymes-backed "Fried Chicken" (produced by Mark Ronson), and the record's leadoff single, "Hero" [listen] (produced by Polow da Don).

Nas and Green Lantern have also teamed up for The Nigger Tape, which is available wherever fine mixes are sold. Some appearances on the Rock the Bells tour are also expected starting on July 19 in Tinley Park, IL.
