Nas is undoubtedly one of the greatest rappers to ever hold a microphone. With multiple classic albums and a project that many consider to be the greatest rap album of all time (Illmatic), he’s cemented himself as an icon in the music industry. As an icon in the industry, his words carry weight and co-signs are important as he’s helping pass the torch to new rappers coming up.

The Queensbridge rapper seems to have taken a liking to Gunna, who’s fresh off of dropping his latest album “Drip Or Drown 2.” The OG took to Instagram to express his sentiments about the young rapper.

“Love seeing young brothas work their way out the hood to make a better life for their families,” Nas said in his OG caption.

Nas and Gunna have not collaborated as of yet, so this would be an interesting pairing if they do work together.
