Following the recent release of his top 10 UK album Life Is Good, demand is high for New York rapper Nas. The album marks Nas' sixth number 1 album in the US and has spawned his current single Cherry Wine, featuring Nas' personal friend Amy Winehouse. It was this friendship that led Nas to make the decision to donate £1 from every ticket sold from this concert to the Amy Winehouse Foundation - set up in Amy's memory to support charitable activities in both the UK and abroad.

Fans and DJs alike have supported Life Is Good, with BBC Radio 1 & 1Xtra playlisting tracks from the album and rave reviews coming in from the newspaper critics. BBC Radio 1 & 1Xtra DJ MistaJam said: "Nas is without doubt one of the greatest emcees of all time. Being the first person to play Reach Out from Life Is Good and get to interview him on my radio show was a real moment for me, as I've been a Nas fan since the age of 10. I think that moment will be surpassed when I get to see him on the O2 stage. It will be a moment to behold for any true hip-hop fan."
