Nas Unveils Black-And White Video For ‘30’
The track is featured on ‘King’s Disease III.’
Nas has unveiled a music video for “30,” which is featured on King’s Diseases III. The visual arrives after a stirring performance at Madison Square Garden on Friday, February 24 to celebrate his collaborative King’s Disease trilogy with Hit-Boy.
Directed by Sarah McColgan, the black-and-white visual is both simple and effective. In an empty warehouse, Nas raps, “A divine creature, ran through dimes, divas/ I turned blocks to beaches/ By the time you see us, we just turned tides even.” Watch the video below.
Last week, the Queensbridge icon and Wu-Tang Clan announced a 2023 co-headlining run titled N.Y. State of Mind Tour, which will be hitting multiple continents this year.

In other Nas news, he also recently recruited 21 Savage for a collaborative new song, “One Mic, One Gun,” which blends the title of the classic Nas song “One Mic” with Savage’s penchant for referencing weapons on his songs. 21 kicks off the track, rapping, “Ain’t no back and forth, ain’t no left or right/I got King’s Disease but I move like a knight/ Rappers bandwagon tryna get some likes/ I do it for the fam’, never for the hype.”
