In Oct. Of 2005, Jay-Z and Nas ended their long running feud and now, Nas has officially signed with Def Jam as a recording artist.

Under the terms of the deal, Def Jam and Sony Music will split the profits from two albums, while Def Jam will keep an additional two.

Additionally, Sony has the rights to release a Greatest Hits album from Nas.

Def Jam will cover the marketing and production costs of the recording, while both companies will oversee the marketing of the releases.

Nas' newest album is also expected to contain a collaboration between Jay-Z and Nas.

Nas has sold more than 11 million albums since the debut of his 1994 album Illmatic.

...The only link I could find that made any mention of a deal was at BET.com, which is hardly reliable at this point...no mention of this on the Def Jam or Island/Def Jam site...where did you get the info from?

I'm a fan of Nas' music so I care...especially considering his last album failed to impress. Nas' problem has always been consistency, so hopefully he gets a new team at DefJam that can help him out with that. And yea, I'm waitin on that Nas/Primo collab if anything.
