Columbia Records will release a greatest hits collection from hip-hop icon Nas November 6.

“A career-spanning retrospective which also serves as an ideal introduction to Nas’ most unforgettable tracks, Greatest Hits reprises 12 essential cuts culled from the artist’s monumental Columbia Records catalog,” Columbia said in a statement.
The album will feature songs from 1994’s Illmatic, through 2004’s Street Disciple, as well as two new songs: “Surviving The Times” and “Less Than An Hour,” featuring Cee- Lo, new theme music created for the soundtrack for “Rush Hour 3,” Columbia said.

“Nas continues to be one of hip-hop’s most potent, provocative, and abiding forces with a string of chart-topping gold and platinum successes to his credit,” the company said.

Nas has sold more than 20 million albums, singles and digital tracks worldwide since 1994.
