Nas reveals details of new TV show

Nas has revealed a few details surrounding his upcoming loosely autobiographical series Street Dreams.

"I'm hands-on with everything, so this show is 100 percent authentic," Nas said in an interview with Rolling Stone. "Even if I don't look cool in it, I just want it to be real and raw. I didn't see this as a full autobiography at first. But I have so much that's happened in my life already, there was no room for fantasy. I wanted it to be entertaining, but everything from my life seemed to be so strong. It's all reality. There's nothing from my life I didn't want in there." 

The series, which follows a stand-in for Nas as he comes up in the rap game in 1990s New York, will debut on Xbox later this year.

"I've figured out an escape plan to get out of Dodge once this hits the air and I let people in," the rapper said. "I don't want to be around. I want to be on a beach. I don't want to deal with it. This is my life that hopefully somebody can look at or learn from or be entertained by, but I want to get out the way."

On top of the new series, Nas is releasing a 20th anniversary edition of his classic album Illmatic. He also said that he'll be working on an all new album, but was reluctant to give any details.
