Nas with the National Symphony Orchestra | "One Love"

Two decades after his album’s critically acclaimed release, hip-hop artist Nas teamed up with the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, to stage a symphonic rendition of “Illmatic,” one of the most revered albums in hip-hop history. The concert film "Great Performances — Nas Live From the Kennedy Center: Classical Hip-Hop" captures the energy and nostalgia of this collaborative performance and was broadcast on PBS. The performance was recorded live in the Kennedy Center Concert Hall, March 28, 2014, as the centerpiece of the "One Mic: Hip Hop Culture Worldwide" festival.
