Nas inks deal with Fila ahead of album release


June 30, 2008 Rapper Nas has broken his tradition of sidestepping brand partnerships and inked a one-year deal with athletic apparel company Fila. Fila will offer reciprocal financial support for Nas' print and TV ad campaign as well as his upcoming tour in support of his untitled album, due July 15 via Def Jam. In return, the MC will wear Fila products and co-create an apparel line that draws from fashions of the late '80s.
