Nas + Ms. Lauryn Hill

Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel 

79 Washington St, Providence, RI   (view map)

Here’s some mega-hip-hop star power: Nas and Ms. Lauryn Hill have been in the game since . . . well, since before Hill added that Ms. to her name. Nas’s latest album, Life Is Good (which includes a cameo from Ms. Hill), finds the Queens rapper returning to his street poet roots. Ms. Hill is working on Black Rage, her loooong overdue follow-up to the classic Miseducation of Lauryn Hill (which dropped in — gulp! — 1998) she’ll bust out tracks from both, and maybe a Fugees hit or two. The dynamic duo will be at Lupo’s, 79 Washington St, Providence, at 8 pm | $54.50 advance, $58 day of show, $69.50 reserved mezzanine | 40.331.5876 | lupos.com
