“Life Is Good” is another notch on Nas’ belt that already consists of other classics from “Illmatic” to “Stillmatic.” But often when memorable albums make such an impact fans are left with nothing but the actual CD, artwork, liner notes and maybe some interesting thank-yous if the artist wasn’t rushed to turn the album in to their label. Can you imagine owning something more tangible such as a pair of replica sunglasses from Biggie or even an LL Cool J Kangol cap?” Nas has done his best to connect with his fans with his latest album including providing a deluxe version of the album that includes three additional bonus tracks. If you purchase the deluxe version from Best Buy for $24.99 you will get an exclusive black t-shirt with Nas’ name and album title on the front with all of his aliases listed on the back including Nasir Jones, Kid Wave (his first nickname), Nastradamus, God’s Son, and Escobar. If you log on to NasirJones.com you can also be redirected to purchase another personal package from 
Nas that comes with the deluxe CD, a different “Life Is Good” t-shirt that comes in the orange and blue colors of his hometown New York Mets and Knicks, a limited edition notebook with rare photos and an autograph from Escobar himself. The paperback version will bring any die-hard Nas fan to his “Book of Rhymes” song from “God’s Son” where he jokes with the track’s producer, Alchemist, while reciting lost lyrics that he discovers in his old rhymebook. That bundle costs $64.99 and what began with a total of 1000 is now down to less than 175 books available. On August 7, Nas also released the LP version of “Life Is Good” which both David Letterman and Stephen Colbert showed to their audience before introducing his performance on each of their late-night shows last month.
