Nas told the LA Times that jobs are a concern for the nation and Proven is all about that and he's all about Proven.
"Hip hop artists especially the older ones, are the ones who knew hip hop was a worldwide phenomenon before the mainstream caught on, so hip hop artists are forward thinkers. We want to stay with the new," Nas explained.
