1. Nas releases his 10th and final album with Def Jam Records. Called, Life Is Good, the album was released today and represents his much needed transition to a new life. From "Daughters" to "Cherry Wine," each song is more representative of Nas than ever before. His album cover features a green dress, which belong to his now ex-wife Kelis. [DigitalSpy]
On using the dress in his album he said,
"I found [the dress] in my house and thought, 'It's going somewhere'. Either on the cover of my album, or burning in a garbage can. I was angry when I first found it. Hurt and angry - but I don't think she left it deliberately to hurt me. It's just part of the dress, so I don't know where the rest of it is. But it made all the sense in the world for me to hold on to that. I guess that's just my personality."
