      In case you’re still sleeping on Nas’ Hip-Hop Is Dead LP, the Queens vet has a wake-up call in the bags for you.

      Nas teamed up with MTV for a music showcase, “MTV Live” series, slated for broadcast on March 15^th.  The concert series is being optimized to run across MTV, MTV2, mtvU, MTV Tr3s, MTV.com, as well as on MTV Mobile via Verizon’s Wireless V-CAST. MTV joined forces with Verizon for the new event series which will feature live artist performances each month, recorded in front of a live audience at the Hard Rock Cafe NY in Times Square. You will then be required to pay an arm and a leg in order to watch on your 2-inch cell phone screen.

      Tracks to be performed by Nas on the series include: “Hip Hop Is Dead,” “Let There Be Light” (with Trey Williams), “Can’t Forget About You” (with Chrisette Michele), “New York State of Mind,” and “Hustlers.”
