Short description
God's Son is the sixth studio album by hip hop artist Nas. It was released on December 13, 2002 by Columbia and Ill Will Records. It reached #12 on the Billboard 200, and obtained a platinum certification from the RIAA a month after it was released. The album was partly inspired by Nas' mother, Ann Jones, who died of breast cancer in early 2002. Multiple songs such as "Warrior Song" reference Ann Jones, but the song "Dance" is a direct tribute to her. In addition, Nas was nearing the end of his feud with Jay-Z at the time of the album, which also inspired its emotional and personal feel.
