Nas recently opened up about signing Detroit rapper Boldy James to his label Mass Appeal Records.

During Boldy’s interview with hometown station Hot 107.5 Mr. Illmatic called in to share why he didn’t hesitate on inking a deal with the Detroit MC.

“He just spit straight raw straight outta the D," said Nas. “Everybody know what it is in the D, and my man right there, he’s flowing. It’s easy to see the talent right there and I just wanted to be associated with that.”

Nas said he had seen what Boldy had been doing and when he found out he was unsigned he wanted to know he would be down with Mass Appeal. He refers to the partnership as “the perfect connection.”
