“Life is Good” is the follow-up to 2008″s “Untitled,” which Nas originally intended to call “Ni****,” but changed his mind after it was clear that a number of retailers would not carry an album with that title. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

Nas is also current featured on VH1″s “Behind the Music.”
