Over a decade after appearing on its cover, Nas now goes behind-the-scenes of Mass Appeal Magazine by investing a “six-figure sum” in the Brooklyn-based publication. Originally founded in 1996 as a a graffiti focused magazine, Mass Appeal has expanded into the world of web, video, and hosting monthly events. The King of Queensbridge’s new role as Associate Publisher for the trade is just the beginning of his new business-minded goals as he tell Forbes:

“I didn’t care to interrupt me being a creative musical artist … I said I’ll be more of a businessman down the road. I’m down the road now.”

Fortunately, his business ventures don’t seem to be taking away from his time in the booth, as just last week he took to Twitter to announce his plans to reveal the title of his next project.

We look forward to seeing what Nas has planned for the future, both in the booth and the boardroom.
