Nas, who is well known for tackling social issues in his songs, is taking steps toward dipping his toes in social problems that exist in the real world. According to recent reports by the Associated Press, Nas says he's ready to do his part to curb homelessness in America.
"We have it good here in America. We're spoiled," Nas said. "We don't realize that people are poor, don't have food, no water in this same world we live in. Those are the things I'm concerned with and need to talk about," he added.
It's great to see an established artist like Nas stepping up with a renewed sense of purpose. Here's hoping that more rappers will follow suit.

This sounds genuine enough. If it was pretty much anybody but NAS, I’d be questioning their sincerity versus publicity.
That is wonderful. He’s such a genuine person. I hope his rap buddies, especially, the one trying really hard to reach billionaire status, joins him.
