About

The NSO Pops enter exciting new musical territory when they welcome Nas--actor, rapper, multi-platinum recording artist, and son of Harlem-based bandleader Olu Dara--to kick off the Kennedy Center festival One Mic: Hip-Hop Culture Worldwide! Their program is a 20th anniversary symphonic celebration of Nas's debut album and instant classic Illmatic, "a densely textured, deeply lyrical portrait of life in Long Island City's Queensbridge projects" (The New York Times).
