Wu-Tang Clan, Nas, and De La Soul Kick Off Leg 2 of N.Y. State of Mind Tour

On Wednesday night, hip hop enthusiasts in Nashville, Tennessee, were treated to an unforgettable evening as legendary acts Wu-Tang Clan and Nas, joined by special guest De La Soul, took the stage at Bridgestone Arena. The performance marked the beginning of Leg 2 of their highly successful N.Y. State of Mind Tour in North America.

During the two-hour set, Wu-Tang Clan, Nas, and De La Soul delivered an electrifying performance, treating fans to an array of their most iconic hits. Wu-Tang Clan delighted the audience with tracks like “Liquid Swords,” “Triumph,” and “Wu-Tang Clan Ain’t Nuthing Ta F’ Wit,” while Nas wowed the crowd with classics such as “N.Y. State of Mind,” “The World Is Yours,” and “Get Down.”

The N.Y. State of Mind Tour is a testament to the enduring influence of hip-hop, bringing together two of the genre’s biggest acts. It also serves as a celebration of the 50th anniversary of hip-hop music, showcasing its rich history and cultural impact.

The tour’s success in 2022 prompted Wu-Tang Clan and Nas to announce a global 2023 tour with 32 dates. The tour kicked off in May, featuring stops in Australia, New Zealand, and Europe, with performances in Auckland, Sydney, Paris, London, Amsterdam, and more.

The celebration of Nas’s 50th birthday was another highlight of the tour. Nas, a GRAMMY-Award winning rap icon, marked the occasion with the release of his new album, Magic 3, produced by his longtime collaborator Hit-Boy and released via Mass Appeal. The album adds to Nas’s remarkable legacy in the world of hip-hop and continues to solidify his status as one of the genre’s greatest artists.
