Most
won't believe it's Stillmatic', but Nasir "Nas" Jones has
recently signed a book deal, agreeing to publish his history and memoirs this
year. The memoir is to be entitled, "It Ain't
Hard to Tell"; which was also a track title on his first album, Illmatic. It will also be in
collaboration with music journalist Touré, who will co-write the book. The book
will tell Nas's whole story, not just about the hit records and champagne
bottles. It will cover certain periods throughout his life and his career as a
hip-hop artist. Nas will now join numerous artists who have taken their
biographies as rap musicians and translate it into a published book like Jay-Z,
Chuck D, and Grandmaster Flash. According to sources, the biography will cover
Nas's feud with former rap enemy Jay-Z and TV talk show host Bill O'Reily. It
will also uncover his mother's battle with cancer. The book will also shine
light on his four-year marriage with Kelis, and his relationship with
ex-girlfriend Carmen Bryan, who is also the mother of his first child. Carmen Bryan
also
wrote a tell-all book back in 2006, and in the book she gives some insight on
the good and bad with her relationship with Nas. Hopefully Nas's book can help
clarify the truth about her tell-all publishing. The book is set to be released
by Simon & Schuster imprint Atria Books in the Autumn of 2012.
