Hip-Hop Stories has dropped a new video which looks at “The Animated Life Story of Nas.” The video navigates through Nas’ start in Queensbridge and how he turned his love for hip-hop into a celebrated, illustrious career. Check out the video below along with the video’s YouTube description.

Roughly eight months ago, Hip-Hop Stories launched their YouTube channel by looking at The Animated Story Behind Doggystyle,” Snoop Dogg’s album debut on Death Row Records in 1993.

How did a young Nas find his passion for hip hop? What was his childhood like growing up in the Queensbridge Houses? Discover the story behind ‘Illmatic’ and ‘It Was Written’, along with other little-known tales such as his first meeting with Dr. Dre, considering 50 Cent for his supergroup The Firm in 1997 (five years before Eminem), and confronting Prodigy during a rap battle when they were teens.
