[NYE Event] New York: Say Bye to 2012 with Nas at Radio City Music Hall

Ironically I had just posted this track on my Facebook because it still resonated for me with respect to the issue that preoccupied my life for most of this past year and then I saw Nas was doing this show tonight in NYC so it made total sense to re-post it here. I’ve been sick with flu the past few days and am still recovering so whether I can get to some wrap-up posts before 2013 arrives is debatable although if you follow me on Pinterest, you already have a pretty good sense of what my album list is going to look like. Stay tuned though, I have a few other final posts I want to try and get done today anyway too. Finally, shout to the homie, Adonis on his artist, Elle Varner getting the opening slot on the show tonight.

His marriage/family & community. The message of the song is making the world around us better by simply working “together”
