Today, we’re hanging out with Nas and Lil Wayne. And not only do we tell you all of hip-hop and R&B’s new releases, we take you across the country to Beyoncé and some of the week’s biggest events and highlight one of hip-hop’s go-to music directors and his latest film. We’ve almost made it through another weekend. I’m Tetris Kelly for Billboard News, it’s Friday, August 11th. And today is the 50th anniversary of hip-hop.

But for now, we hang with Nas.
