"I think that's one of the most exciting things hip hop can look forward to. He contributes so much lyrically and musically, he's amazing," said Nas.

He made the comments at an event in New York to celebrate the origins of hip hop, where he was joined by artists such as GRANDMASTER FLASH, N*E*R*D and DIZZEE RASCAL.
Speaking to BBC 6 Music, the rap star – who has never voted – said he would be supporting a certain presidential candidate this year.
