Nas commemorates his birthday in grandeur within his latest music video, titled "Fever".
Helmed by director Leff, the video escorts us into Nas's opulent 50th birthday extravaganza, hosted in the vibrant backdrop of New York City. The soirée boasts the presence of an A-list roster of celebrities, with luminaries such as Mary J. Blige, Diddy, Fat Joe, Kendrick Lamar, Hit-Boy, The Lox, Steve Stoute, and many other notable figures gracing the event.
In the midst of the celebration, the illustrious God's Son takes center stage to deliver lyrical gems, rapping, "Early on the wake up, cunning as the father of the 12 sons of Jacob / Shake up the world, cake crumbs." He continues his poetic prowess with, "Cover my gold teeth, cufflinks, waiters / Lobster sauce on aprons, pardon, that’s the chef / Burgundy on the breath, uncertainty when I step."
"Fever" serves as the inaugural track from the highly-anticipated collaborative project, Magic 3, marking the third installment of Nas and Hit-Boy's esteemed Magic trilogy series and their sixth joint album.
