Nas Has Been Added To Dave Chappelle’s Radio City Music Hall Line-Up

UPDATE: Dave Chappelle will add a ninth and final show at Radio City Music Hall featuring Nas will be accompanied by a full orchestra and will perform his iconic debut album Illmatic in full. Chappelle made the announcement Last night on Late Night With David Letterman. When Letterman asked him why he suddenly left Chappelle's Show in 2005, the stand-up comedian gave the answer of the century, "Listen, here it is: Technically, I never quit. I'm seven years late for work." He goes into more details stating financial reasons for his decision. Watch the clip below.

The artists will be performing on different nights and the dates are as follows:
