He’s not on the level of Chamillionaire or Crooked I over Nas’ single, but Free still does his thang thang. This will be the anthem for my man in Cali for sure haha. I really hope this doesn’t become the new A Millie. Oh and I didn’t post the Asher Roth version! That was my counterpart! Haha. Shouts to DJ Ian for the Free cut…

If this came after Be a Nigger Too’s video dropped I’d be expecting great’ness, but after the disappointing Hero visuals came out I’m not sure what to expect anymore. Be a Nigger Too was great stuff, and since I’m thinking this is a viral only video it should be controversial and needed. Here goes a poster for the upcoming video. The good folks over at three21media have some stills as well. Click the above image for the full version.

Crooked I hops on Nas’ Hero for XXL on an upcoming feautre they did about his success on the internets. HipHopDX >> XXLmag but I fuck with the magazine… does that count? Anyways, you know it’s fire, so download now and talk later. And you better believe Crook is gonna lace some exclusive for the 2dopeboyz West Coast Mixtape. That’s right! Now I’m off to Subway.

The official single to Nas upcoming album, Nigger. Shouts to the Best of Both Offices! And it looks like the album is now dropping on July 15th? I must say I’m not hyped for it. Then again, I never really am for a Nas project. Sheesh.
