Even with the collaborative release of Distant Relatives expected to be hitting stores in August, Nas is already in the works of prepping his tenth studio album.
Serving as a follow-up to 2008’s controversial album Untitled, which was originally titled "Nigger," the Queensbridge native plans to deliver another musical effort once his latest project with Damian Marley is completed. No details have been given in relation to a release date.
Expected to be released under the Def Jam label, this would be his third effort since arriving in the office and bringing Hip-Hop Is Dead back in 2006.

Although sales have not soared with his two releases, controversy has followed and the critical acclaim of his past works under the label has outweighed the overall sales that have been projected.
Although controversial topics and drama have been fuel to his last two projects, Nas has tried, this time around, to focus on the positive aspects of life. His music will be a reflection of what he views. It will be the perspective of the spectator.
In terms of controversy in the life of Nasir Jones, he is currently dealing with a divorce from his wife, Kelis, who has requested that the rapper provide her with child support. Kelis claims Nas raked in $11 million for his album deal.
Nas fired back in legal papers, “I did not receive even half that amount”… claiming it’s more like $4 mil. Nas claims his income is declining, and he’s only pulling in $147,165 a month. As for what he spends … $71,371.96 a month, which includes $10,000 a month in clothing/hair/toiletries/personal effects.
Kelis, who is about to give birth to their child, claims Nas hasn’t paid a penny for child or spousal support since he left her. Nas, who says he wants to be “fully involved” in the parenting of their child, claims he’s agreed to pay $350 for a stroller, $450 for a baby sling and $1,598 for two cribs.

Nas says he is willing to pay Kelis $5,000 a month in child support but that won’t be nearly enough for Kelis who claims she has over $80,000 in expenses a month. Shewants Nas to foot the bill of $3,500 for a baby nurse after the child’s birth and $20,000 for strollers, cribs and other baby supplies.
Currently Nas is on the Rock the Bells Tour along acts such as Marley, Slaughterhouse, Busta
Rhymes, Raekwon along with many others. When this tour comes to a close, Nas will continue to promote Distant Relatives with Marley and plans to tour after the album drops.
