The new album from Nas has been "about to be released" since November, but it seems as if the day will never come. The original release date was mid December, but was soon pushed back to February because it wasn't done yet. The delays caused some to speculate on whether or not Def Jam Records were getting cold feet on the project.
During an interview with Foxxhole radio, Nas revealed the new release date of April 22nd. When asked how he and Def Jam would promote such a controversial album, Nas said he'd leave it up to word of mouth.
"We need the "Imuses" to promote it, all these niggas to promote it, the fake niggas, the sucka niggas, the good niggas, the great niggas, everyone. Just going to the red carpet was good, everyone had on tuxedos and I had my own shit, from the Grammy's to talking to you guys.
I'm gonna market it the way I've always marketed, it's a bit different now cause I can open up a forum and talk to the Imus's and the Bounty Hunter guy...I'm just gonna extend myself to the people I feel are worthy of talking to..that's how I'm going to market it." Said Nas.

Love Nas ... that attitude is his signature by now. Can't wait for him to drop the new album. Thanks for the heads up, Frosty. :)
