Untitled is the ninth studio album by rapper Nas. It features artist such as Keri Hilson, The Last Poets, Chris Brown, The Game & Busta Rhymes. It’s an album worth reflecting on, and actually listening to. Nas is one of the realest hip hop artist out thats spitting knowledge the way he does. So if you havent already make sure you go out & support this album. It’s been out since the summer so there isnt a valid excuse as to why you havent went out & brought a copy. The song below is titled Breathe.
