Touré recently took to Twitter to share the big news: “I’ve been talking to Nas about writing his autobiography for 16 years … we’ll tell his life and deconstruct some songs,” he writes. “A memoir is about a certain period in your life.

Congrats on the book deal Nas – we know it’ll definitely be worth the read!
