Meeting Nas Changed My Life Forever!

I’ve met Nas… not once, not twice, but three times. First in 2015 at a Hennessy Gala in New York, where I captured some of the best photos of my career. Second, while filming the Murder Inc. documentary in Los Angeles, where we talked about art, legacy, and even Mississippi. And third, behind the lens filming the New York State of Mind Tour with Nas, Wu-Tang Clan, and Busta Rhymes. But the real story isn’t just about meeting Nas. It’s about how one documentary — Time Is Illmatic — pushed me to leave everything behind in the south, move to New York, and chase my dream as a filmmaker. This is Episode 1 of my new series: Have You Ever. Because sometimes the leap of faith is what puts you in the room with your heroes. 👉 Stay until the end for a teaser of Episode 2 — when I met the greatest financier in America, billionaire Ray Dalio, at the 2018 Web Summit in Portugal.
