When Levi decided to invite artists they consider "pioneering" to take part in their new marketing campaign, it may come as no suprise that for the Hip Hop genre this came in the form of Nasir Jones. It's no more of a surprise, that when asked to "re-craft the classic songs that inspired their sound", Nas chose Hey Young World by champion story-teller Slick Rick. There is little doubt that, as a 15 year old at the height of a hip-hop obssesion, Esco would have been highly influenced when the English born rapper released his debut disk, The Great Adventures Of Slick Rick.

How many of you would kill to see Nas in the studio for real? The video is a nice imsight though.
