MC Serch executive produced two of Nas' most iconic albums—1994's "Illmatic" and 1996's "It Was Written"—and now, the 3rd Bass legend is selling his portion of them. Speaking to AllHipHop, Serch explained he's retained the the rights for nearly three decades.
"I have decided to sell all of the rights, including the global rights,” he said. “I started conversations with several companies a few months ago. For 27 years, it has provided my family through good times and bad. Now it’s time for a new chapter.”
MC Serch estimates both projects combined are still streamed at least 250 million times a year, while Nas currently has more than eight million monthly Spotify listeners. The sale is being represented by Richard Blackstone, Roger Miller, and Stephen S. Sidman.
