After re-launching the Mass Appeal media division, Nas went off to build an incredible roster on Mass Appeal's record label. Over the past few years, he's signed some of the most revered emcees out right now including Dave East, Run The Jewels and more. As Nas continues to strengthen the roster, the rapper has recruited Stro as the latest member of the Mass Appeal family.

Brooklyn's Stro is the newest member of Nas' Mass Appeal record label, following the signing of Cantrell earlier this year. Stro began to garner attention when he appeared on the X-Factor when he was 14 years old. He went on to release several projects including Grade A Frequencies. Now, the rapper is getting ready to release his debut project through the label, Nice 2 Meet You, Again on October 19th. 

"#N2MYA represents a new me and a new beginning. There was a lot of ups and downs creating this project, but through the grace of God I'm able to say I got it done," Stro told Billboard. "Through the grace of God, I'm also able to release this new music through one of the most authentic labels in music today, Mass Appeal Records. The whole building has been supporting what I do. NAS SUPPORTS WHAT I DO. That's a blessing I’ll hold on to and keep in mind for the rest of my journey."

With a new project on the way, peep the trailer for Nice 2 Meet You, Again below.
