Nas to Perform ‘Illmatic’ With Detroit Symphony Orchestra

Leave a comment

Nas’s Illmatic is still the holy grail of Hip-Hop albums 25 years after its initial release. Young “Nasty” Nas literally transformed the rap game and things were never the same. Just last year, on Great Performances — Nas Live From the Kennedy Center: Classical Hip-Hop, Nas performed Illmatic in Washington D.C., accompanied by an orchestra. The Queensbridge MC must have really enjoyed because he set to perform once again with a full orchestra.

Now, it has been reported by Okayplayer that Nas will perform tracks from Illmatic backed by the Detroit Orchestra. The Detroit Pistons announced today that Nas will perform with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra (DSO) in conjunction with the Detroit Pistons Black History Month festivities at Orchestra Hall within the Max M. and Marjorie S. Fisher Music Center on March 5 at 7:30 p.m.

Proceeds from the event will benefit programs that stem from the Detroit Pistons partnership with the DSO and the Sphinx Organization, which provides opportunities to young African-American and Latino string players to develop and showcase their talents in the communities they serve.  The Detroit-based national organization identifies, recognizes, rewards and nurtures young and talented musicians of color while making classical music accessible and relatable to diverse audiences.

Tickets to Nas – with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and presented by the Detroit Pistons go on-sale at 10 a.m. on Saturday, January 26 and are available online at Ticketmaster.com.

Years after hanging up his jersey Grant Hill proves to be in a class by himself.  His former sneaker company has brought him back for a new partnership.

According to a report by Nice Kicks the former NBA all-star has resigned with FILA for a lifetime deal. The Italian brand released a formal press release confirming the announcement.

“FILA is proud to have been a part of Grant’s history, partnering with him when he was drafted into the league,” stated Jon Epstein, President at FILA North America. “Grant was a tough yet graceful competitor. He possesses a strong work ethic and has demonstrated resilience and perseverance. Grant truly embodies the spirit of FILA, a brand that is synonymous with game-changers in sport and beyond. We look forward to Grant being an integral part of our move forward strategy in basketball.”

Under the new deal Hill will revive their sneaker line with retro releases of his signature models. While FILA never had a strong presence in performance basketball Grant’s shoes, specifically the GH2’s, were received very well on the court and on the streets in the 1990’s. The former Detroit Piston detailed reuniting with the company. “Fila was there for my first professional steps on the court,” Hill said. “We have now come full circle, and I am thrilled to be a part of the family once again.”

To celebrate the relaunch Hill will appear at the FILA booth at ComplexCon in November. You find more information here.
