Hip hop icon Nas will headline Australia's inaugural Movement Festival in April.
Seeking to fill "the void of credible hip hop events in Australia", the festival will unite Grammy award-winning heavyweights with mixtape kings and local heroes.
Nas is co-curating the festival, and has hand-picked multi-platinum locals Bliss N Eso to co-headline (he'll also be recording a collaboration with them in the lead-up to the event. It's claimed that his contribution will be ongoing, as he'll also be involved in an artistic and programming capacity with the 2014 and 2015 events.
